Although the relevant WO Instruction does not specifically mention this, it is recorded that half the men of the new battery were Essex Territorials, and the remainder Durham miners (presumably Kitchener volunteers). Thereafter four more siege batteries ordered to be formed at Harwich had cadres of four officers and 78 other ranks (ORs) drawn from the Essex & Suffolk RGA: 148, 220, 245 and 356 (

The guns were ordered to repeat part of the bombardment, but the advance could not be restarted, and counter-attacks drove the Ulstermen out of most of their gains.

It went to Ypres in the autumn to relieve exhausted units, and served through the grim battles of Passchendaele with 56th HAG. 56th HAG became 56th Brigade in December and 220th Siege Bty remained with it for the rest of the war.
