RFAHENDO Posted 26 October , 2004 Share Posted 26 October , 2004 I am hoping someone can help me locate information on the 524th Howitizer Battery, RFA that I believe served in Mesopotamia as part of the 15th Indian Division. The goal is to help a friend determine some particulars of the service of his Great Uncle who was in the above-mentioned battery. He believes the soldier, 226241 GNR Maurice Chynoweth, RA served in Mesopotamia in 1917 and 1918. GNR Chynoweth was transferred back to the UK on 22 January 1919 for demobilization from Mesopotamia. That is all the infomation he has. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
