I have found a reference - online - to the Stations of the Royal Artillery in India in it shows a 1st Brigade F Battery, based in Ahmdednuggur, during the years he was in India...could it therefore have been an abbreviation for:
"F Battery/1st Brigade Royal Artillery"?
YES!!! That's the one!
From Yaxley, in Peterborough - where I and the whole of my family on that side from that time are from. His Nephew - fought at La Boiselle with 1st Lincs, died 3 July 1916, and is commemorated in the Village War Memorial
Outstanding work team - really pleased. Thank you all.
Hi. Hoping someone will be able to help me with some information.
I have inherited a pocket watch, which belonged to my great, great grandfather. On the rear is engraved the following:
”Presented to Corpl W.HALL by the N.C.Officers F/t.R.A. Septmber 1888”
Does anybody know what F/t.R.A. May refer to?
Any guidance greatly appreciated.
