3rd Middlesex Artillery Volunteers

688:. Despite the continuing shortage of ammunition, the plan this time was for a long methodical bombardment. On 13 and 14 May the field guns carried out three two-hour deliberate bombardments each day, attacking the wire with slow observed fire or keeping the enemy communication trenches under fire. At night they carried out intermittent bombardments of the communication trenches and defences, to stop supplies being brought up and to prevent repairs being carried out. The guns fired about 100 rounds per day. During 15 May feint bombardments mimicking the moment of assault were carried out, but the actual attack was made after dark with some success. The fighting went on for several days, and 47th (2nd L) Division made its own first attack on the night of 25 May. The leading brigade captured the German front and support trenches, but were then pinned down by accurate German artillery fire and could advance no further. This effectively ended the battle. The heavy rate of fire during the battle was too much for the old 15-pdrs: by 26 May, 11 out of 36 guns in the division were out of action. 1995:, and various support units. Its role was to hold the line from Cassel to Hazebrouck in the outer perimeter of the Dunkirk pocket. By 27 May Cassel was surrounded and there was heavy fighting around the hilltop town, with 140th Fd Rgt's 18-pdrs 'doing great execution'. On 29 May the enemy closed in with tanks: five of these were knocked out before the remainder forced their way into the town, and German infantry attacked troop command posts until they were driven out by the gunners. The regiment adopted a position of all-round defence. Finally a military policemen on a motorcycle got through the surrounding enemy to deliver a day-old order for Somer Force to withdraw. Lieutenant-Colonel Howard ordered his men to hold out till nightfall and then destroy all equipment and make their escape. The regiment destroyed its guns and set off in the dark. More than half were killed or captured, but 14 officers and 287 men (out of 580) made their way back to Dunkirk and caught some of the last boats to leave the beaches. 762: 1095:. Each battery remained in action until the last minute, covering the infantry, while coming under air attack. The withdrawal was accomplished before nightfall for the loss of one gun of B Bty, the gun team of which was shot down and the gun had to be destroyed after two failed attempts to retrieve it. The withdrawal was completed along raids clogged with transport and retreating infantry. Early on 23 March the batteries were in action again, covering the line to which 51st (H) Division had withdrawn. Late in the afternoon Aschwanden withdrew the batteries which, especially A and C, were by now in dangerously forward positions near 1221: 464: 1007: 1714:, where it stayed (except for a month in Northern Ireland in April 1941) until 1942. The field regiments were re-equipped with whatever guns were available until sufficient 25-pounders were ready. It was only in October 1940 that the RA was producing enough battery staffs to begin the process of changing regiments from a two-battery to a three-battery organisation. (Three 8-gun batteries were easier to handle, and it meant that each infantry battalion in a brigade could be closely associated with its own battery.) 92nd Field Rgt formed 467 Bty on 17 January 1941 while it was stationed at 593:

each 1st Line unit where 60 per cent or more of the men had volunteered for Overseas Service. The titles of these 2nd Line units would be the same as the original, but distinguished by a '2/' prefix. In this way duplicate batteries, brigades and divisions were created, mirroring those TF formations being sent overseas. Eventually these too were prepared for overseas service and 3rd Line reserve units were formed to produce reinforcement drafts to the others. The duplicate 2/V London Brigade was formed in September 1914 and separated in March 1915 when 1/V Brigade went overseas.

758:, and the battle raged on after 47th (2nd L) Division had been relieved between 28 September and 1 October. During the battle a gun of 13th London Bty had suffered a blown-out breech block, which ignited cordite cartridges in the gun-pit; Nos 1, 2 and 3 of the crew were killed and No 4 suffered burns over the whole of his body but ran to fetch the medical officer to help his comrades before he died. Later that winter, while in action near North Maroc, No 1 gun-pit of the battery suffered direct hits on two successive days, losing the whole gun crew each time. 2132: 844:

communications were cut by the box barrage. During the night the gun pits were shelled with gas, but on 22 May the artillery duel began to swing towards the British, with fresh batteries brought in, despite their shortage of ammunition. A system of 'one round strikes' was introduced: whenever a German battery was identified every gun in range fired one round at it, which effectively suppressed them. British counter-attacks were attempted, but when the fighting died down the Germans had succeeded in capturing the British front line.

881:

land was so narrow. Casualties among the attacking infantry were extremely heavy, but they succeeded in capturing High Wood and the gun batteries began to move up in support, crossing deeply-cratered ground. Here casualties among the exposed guns and gunners took their toll, but a German counter-attack was broken up by gunfire. Next day the division fought to consolidate its positions round the captured 'Cough Drop' strongpoint. When the infantry were relieved on 19 September the artillery remained in the line under 1st Division.

2254: 1862: 853: 476:, in 1896 it was reported that nine of its batteries were armed with 40 Pounder RBL position guns, and a further three batteries with a mixture of 9-Pounder and 13-pounder Rifled Muzzle Loading (RML) field guns. The 3rd Middlesex won the Queen's Prize at the National Artillery Association's annual camp in 1870, 1878 and 1885, and after the competition was split into two sections it won the Position/Heavy Artillery category in 1896. The unit also had the distinction of having the Duke of York (the future King 966:

On 47th (2nd L) Division's front there was a hold-up at Spoil Bank by the canal in the second phase, but a new barrage was laid on this point and a renewed attack made at 19.00; although this too was held up, the position was later secured by the division. The field batteries were moved up to cover the new forward positions and break up counter-attacks. During the battle some 18-pdr batteries fired as many as 6000 rounds in 24 hours.

July after the massed guns had fired concentrations for half an hour before zero, and the guns continued with barrages and some concentrations once the fighting began. The whole fire programme was restricted by the availability of only a single observation post (OP) that could see the fighting going on in the undergrowth on the far bank of the Simeto. A limited bridgehead was achieved, but it proved impossible to push through it until Catania and Mt Etna were outflanked by other formations.

1529: 782: 69: 86: 1209:). From now on the battle was constantly moving, and the British divisions began sending forward all-arms brigade groups including artillery batteries to clear strongholds and round up prisoners as they advanced. The field artillery frequently had to organise creeping barrages for these small operations, and casualties from enemy shellfire and gas were continuous. CCXXXV Brigade needed a great deal of skill to get its guns across the 998:. The British defences were not a continuous trench line, but a series of platoon or company strongpoints, the area between each to be covered by the artillery and machine guns. Once the divisional artillery joined from Ypres, close liaison with the infantry positions was achieved, and enemy positions were regularly bombarded. Wire-cutting for raids was also carried out, and smoke and incendiary ammunition was now available. 1241:, but the orders wee changed and the division was put into the line to follow the retreating enemy across Aubers Ridge as far as the main Lille defences. After a 10-day pause, the division was relieved and once again prepared for the move to Italy. However, on 28 October this as finally changed, and 47th (2nd L) Division made the Official Entry into the liberated city of Lille on 28 October. It afterwards moved up to the 1641:. There was no artillery fireplan, and 92nd Fd Rgt's guns were not called upon to fire until late in the day. The attacking columns withdrew at nightfall and at 04.00 on 22 May 92nd Fd Rgt was withdrawn to positions round Givenchy. The regiment blamed a French withdrawal and lack of air support for the failure of the operation, but it is now recognised that the Arras counter-attack seriously delayed the German advance. 504: 749:– the first time that gas had been used by the BEF. It greatly aided 47th (2nd L) Division's attack on the southern flank of the attack, but was less effective elsewhere. The division had thoroughly practised its attack on dummy trenches, and at Zero hour (05.50) moved forward. Massy's Group fired continuously on the German front line and Cité St Pierre behind, supporting 45: 1031:. The Guards' artillery and Commander, Royal Artillery, (CRA) were absent, so the divisional commander made Lt-Col Adrian Gordon of CCXXXV Bde acting CRA, commanding both his own brigade and LXX Brigade (which happened to be moving through the area). The batteries moved up rapidly under 'open warfare' conditions and supported the Guards' successful attack on 2277:.

Each unit listed also had a brass plaque depicting the memorial: the 5th London Brigade's is at the Army Reserve Centre at 312 London Rd Romford, having been moved from the former TA Centre at East Ham in 2003. 1126:. It was not until an hour after dawn on 25 March that this blockage was cleared and CCXXXV Bde was able to deploy, still in front of Achiet-le-Petit. When the brigades time came to withdraw it came under heavy shellfire in Achiet-le-Petit, suffering many casualties, but it got through to Bucquoy and came into action just north of 1682:, until 29 May. Most of the division then withdrew to the inner perimeter and embarked for England, but guns were required to stay behind to bolster 50th Division's defences for a further 24 hours, and it was not until early on 1 June that the last of 5th Division's gunners destroyed their remaining equipment and were evacuated. 1145:, all of which were driven back, with the guns doing tremendous damage and the line held. But rumours of further breakthroughs were everywhere, and a panic took hold amongst the transport lines, including 47th DAC. Seven German aircraft also attacked the brigade, to which the gunners replied with rifle and 1661:

Several weeks before the Battle of Messines (7 June) the artillery had begun destructive shoots on various points in the enemy lines and communications, and began wire-cutting in May. The enemy response was fierce: on one day 200 heavy shells fell on the position of D/CCXXXV Bty and its neighbour,

Two-thirds of the ammunition was allocated to Phase 1. Harassing fire began on 21 September, with the field guns limited to 150 rounds per gun per day, and consequently the wire-cutting was not good except where concentrations of field and heavy guns had been used to cut entry points. In fact, the
