190th Brigade Royal Artillery

[toofatfortakeoff]

Was this battery in existence at the start of the war or was it a duration formation? What were it's postings?

Did it recruit in Lincolnshire?

I have a Lt.Clifford William Anderson KIA 1918 of whom I am trying to get a little bit of info on-I have an idea that he won a medal MC/other? but am still looking into this.

Any help would be appreciated.

His commission as Second Lieutenant can be found Here

His promotion to Lieutenant can be found Here

Can't find any listings of any awards etc. although that's not to say he didn't receive one.

Hope this helps

LLT mother site shows that the 190th (CXC) Brigade, RFA was formed in November 1915 as a part of the 41st Division.

War diaries are in existance (May 1916 - Oct 1919) and held at the NA.

I also can find no evidence that he won an MC or any other decoration with the Royal Artillery. Dick Flory
