Bob Foster Posted 9 March , 2006 Share Posted 9 March , 2006 I am researching a soldier who served in the following unit. 2nd/1st (Warwick) Bty 126th brigade Royal Horse Artillery. I am unfamiliar with the organisation of these units. Can anyone help . Did they produce War Diaries like Battalions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KONDOA Posted 9 March , 2006 Share Posted 9 March , 2006 From the Long Long Trail: Originally raised by Lord Brooke at Warwick Castle. Battery HQ was at Clarendon Place, Leamington Spa, with a section at Coventry. The ammunition column was divided between Leamington and Henley-in-Arden. The unit was allocated as artillery support to the 1st South Midland Mounted Brigade. The battery was duplicated in 1914 forming 1/1st and 2/1st Warwickshire Batteries. "The 1/1st was the first Territorial artillery unit to go overseas on active service spending the whole war in France. In 1915 the battery joined 7th Brigade RHA moving in 1917 to 15th Brigade RHA. 2/1st served in the UK from 1914 to 1918." As they did not go overseas there will not be a war diary aavailable.
