Originally formed in august/september 1914 as 8 hy bty, the first heavy battery of the new armies to be raised after the outbreak of war, the designation was changed to 14 at the beginning of october 1914. When the battery went to france in may 1915 it was equipped with 4.7” guns but in june 1916 it was re-equipped with 60-pounders, just in time for the somme. Usually war diaries were not opened till the unit went on active service but in this case the diary begins on 3 october 1914 so we learn something about training and preparation in the uk. We haven’t seen an awful lot in print about royal garrison artillery units in action so this publication makes interesting reading. There is a very useful map showing the part of the western front where the battery fought and marking positions in which it was in action.
