Title: Royal Artillery question.
Post by: ClazyAunt on Sunday 21 May 06 00:51 BST (UK)

Does anyone know how the Royal Artillery listed their units.  

I am trying to find out which regiment my gggrandfather was with and I don't even know if it was a regiment.

He was a Sergeant in the RA in the 1850's and early 60's.

Thank you for your time and attention.
Anna

At that time there were 48 Batteries,as they were called.

Hi Anna!
There is a Royal Artillery site on the web,"Google"will fetch it for you,it is very comprehensive so will take some sorting out.
You need some reference,s to work from,about your ancestor,whether written or remembered.
