Robert Dunlop Posted 9 May , 2004 Share Posted 9 May , 2004 I can find mention of 89th and 91st Brigades but not the 90th. Does anyone know the whereabouts of this unit (presuming it existed) during April 1918? Many thanks Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoplophile Posted 10 May , 2004 Share Posted 10 May , 2004 CX Brigade, RFA did not exist in 1918. It had been disbanded in August of 1916 in order to bring the other brigades of the 20th (Light) Division up to the new standard of six guns or howitzers per battery. The details of this reorganisation can be found in A.F. Becke, Order of Battle of Divisions, Part 3A (New Army Divisions, 9-26), pp. 98 and 99. (Becke was a gunner with a particular interest in the many metamorphoses of divisional artillery in WWI. The short divisional histories that he provides in his multi-volume series are therefore full of information about the fate of specific batteries and brigades.
