Royal Artillery Forts in Portsmouth/Gosport/IOW

[Gunner 1]

OVLHS_Secretary:  It is somewhat difficult to answer your question as Battery Records of the Royal Artillerydetails the movements of individual batteries rather than the brigade as a whole, and during the period to which you refer 10th Brigade, RA had up to eight batteries. If you could be somewhat more definite as to exactly when he served at Blockhouse Fort, Fort Monkton, Fort Elson, etc. I might be able to determine in which battery of 10th Brigade, RA he served and give you more detailed information concerning the movements of that particular battery.

Regards, Dick Flory

There is no mention of the battery just "10th brigade RA" with the forts mentioned in 1861 at find my past, but that was a while ago, I`ll see what else I can dig up on him.....

He was an Army pensioner leaving c.1882 but no luck with his pension records either as yet.....Doing a good job of hiding from me

I now know in which battery he served if it`s possible to get a history of them?

He was in the 10th Brigade Royal Artillery, 6th Battery (the Gunners) when he landed at Pembroke Dock on 2nd November 1875.

Any further information o the 6th Battery would be great thanks
