Moonraker Posted 5 December , 2005 Share Posted 5 December , 2005 Where was the 7th Canadian Siege Battery based in October 1917 please? I have seen a reference that has a member moving from perhaps Codford in Wiltshire (where I didn't think Canadians were based) to Folkestone. A Google search yielded very little, save to an implication that the battery was overseas at this time. Moonraker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essdee Posted 5 December , 2005 Share Posted 5 December , 2005 Moonraker The 7th Canadian Siege Battery were part of 1st Canadian HAG who were U Group within the Northern Double Group, 8 Corps Heavy Artillery and were designated U6. Their 4 X 8” Howitzers were positioned at C 30d 06.50 with the call sign F.H.P. This map reference would place them about 500 yards from the centre of Verlorenhoek on the road to Zonnebeke.
