Overview

Siege Batteries RGA were equipped with heavy howitzers, sending large-calibre high explosive shells in high trajectory, plunging fire. The usual armaments were 6-inch, 8-inch and 9.2-inch howitzers. As British artillery tactics developed, the Siege Batteries were most often employed in destroying or neutralising the enemy artillery, as well as putting destructive fire down on strongpoints, dumps, stores, roads and railways behind enemy lines. A list of targets engaged is included, along with a list of old members of the Battery (with addresses), Nominal Roll, Casualties Killed & Wounded, H&A. Beaumont Hamel, Arras, Messines, Vendelles, Jeancourt.
