[cazack]

Hello

 

I am looking to see if anyone ha any information on the 2nd Battalion H.A.C.

I have a pair of medals to a Sgt who was wounded (GSW to head) on the 25.09.1915 at Hazebrouck, but I cant seem to find any information about the battalions order of battle at that time

 

any assistance would be appreciated

 

regards

The official history of the HAC in WW1 - The Honourable Artillery Company in the Great War, edited by Maj.  G. Goold Walker (London: Seely, Service & Co, 1930) - indicates that the 2nd Battalion only went to France, as a unit, late in 1916. Before then, it was a feeder for the 1st Battalion, replacing men as needed.
