Gnr. William Dunn Watters Fifeshire Battery Royal Garrison Artillery

My great- grandfather William Dunn Watters was in the territorial army, a gunner with the RGA Fifeshire Heavy Battery in 51st Highland Division. His address in 1918 was Cowdenbeath Fife, on his marriage records he was stationed at Sheringham England, home base to the Royal Artillery. I can find no other records of him, I have a photo of him in his uniform and the badge on his shoulder has a T then RGA then Fifeshire, he survived the war, I would like to know if there are any records of him and what his regiment contributed to the first word war.







Recomended Reading.
