Yves: The Commander, Royal Artillery (CRA) who commanded the Divisional Artillery had an officer who served on his staff that was designated the Brigade Major, who served as the principal staff officer to the CRA and a second staff officer referred to as a Staff Captain who carried out administrative duties but I have not heard of a Staff Lieutenant on the Divisional Artillery Staff. If you can give me the officer's name I will send you whatever I have on him in my RA officer data base. Regards. Dick Flory

Thanks for your reply. The name of this Staff officer was Lieut L.R. Blake MC (formerly 105th How Battery ) for 2nd Australian Artillery Div .
