W. Robins

British Army Royal Garrison Artillery

My husband has a large (1.6" diam.) silver wristwatch in his collection. He says it is from the period of WW1. On the back of the case is roughly engraved (by an amateur): 177310 WRobins RGA. We assumed that RGA meant Royal Garrison Artillery all our searches on online free sites have failed to find any records of this man. The manufacturers information inside the case says that it was made by the Philadelphia Watchcase company and is guaranteed 925 fine sterling. There are Hallmarks but I cannot match them to any charts. Please can anyone help? Did the British Army issue American watches at this time?
