Notes

[edit]
  1. ^The basic organic unit of theRoyal Artillery was, and is, theBattery.[1] When grouped together they formed brigades, in the same way that infantry battalions or cavalry regiments were grouped together in brigades. At the outbreak ofWorld War I, a field artillery brigade ofheadquarters (4 officers, 37other ranks), three batteries (5 and 193 each), and a brigade ammunition column (4 and 154)[2] had a total strength just under 800 so was broadly comparable to an infantry battalion (just over 1,000) or a cavalry regiment (about 550). Like an infantry battalion, an artillery brigade was usually commanded by aLieutenant-Colonel. Artillery brigades were redesignated as regiments in 1938.
