100th Brigade, Royal Field Artillery



   C Brigade, Royal Field Artillery, made up of A, B, C and D Batteries RFA and 100 Brigade Ammunition Column served with 22nd Division. The Division was established in September 1914 as part of Kitchener's Third New Army. The division assembled for training in the area of Eastbourne and Seaford, with the artillery based at Lewes. They proceeded to France in early September 1915, concentrating near Flesselles. In October they moved to Marseilles by train and embarked for Salonika on the 27th. In 1916 the division fought in the the Battle of Horseshoe Hill and Battle of Machukovo. On the 21st of July 1916 C Battery transferred to 101 Brigade, and was renamed C Battery, 101 Brigade. D Battery, 100 Brigade was renamed C Battery, 100 Brigade. C (Howitzer) Battery, 101 Brigade joined and was renamed D (Howitzer) Battery, 100 Brigade.

In 1917 they were in action during the Battles of Doiran. On the 12th of June 1917 D (Howitzer) Battery transferred to 114 Brigade RFA in 26th Division and was not replaced. In mid 1918 a number of units transferred to France, the remainder of the division again being in action at Doiran just before the Armistice with Bulgaria was signed at the end September 1918. By the 20th of October the Division was at Stavros and embarked on destroyers to attempt a landing at Dede Agach, but rough weather forced abandonment and the infantry finally landed on the 28th and reached Makri before the Armistice with Turkey. Demobilisation began at Chugunsi and was complete by the end of March 1919.
