Siege Batteries
« on: Wednesday 14 September 16 10:08 BST (UK) »
I am unable to get to Kew through a series of strokes - I wonder whether anyone can tell me the Allocations of HAG's and whether they saw action on the Somme Battlefield of Siege Batteries 115 -122 inclusive - would  be most grateful - Thanks

Yes Ken - it does not give the HAG's or ORBAT's.

Just looking at 115 Bty. they were part of 65 Bde. RGA. Their war diary is online at TNA. £3.45.
It depends on how much you want to spend as you're looking for 8.
I'll have another scout around.
