Guest JohnnyCanuck Posted 27 March , 2003 Share Posted 27 March , 2003 Hello Jim; I've received some information which indicates that the 182nd Brigade, A Battery, Royal Field Artillery may have been part of the Divisional formation of the 56th Division. Do you have anything which might confirm this? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jangar Posted 19 October , 2010 Share Posted 19 October , 2010 Hello there, I have just found your kind offer of information on regimental history. Could I have some information on the 1/7th Notts and Derby encompassing the period September 1915 to June 1917 please. If I could have a few pages I'd be very grateful. I'm not sure how much info there is, but any would give me an idea of grandfather's travels and experience.
