The Volunteer Artillery of the British Army

The Royal Garrison Artillery (Volunteers) 1902-08

RAVols

In 1899 the Royal Artillery was split into the Royal Field Artillery and the Royal Garrison Artillery. The Artillery Volunteer Corps were all incorporated in the latter.

In 1902 the three divison system was abolished and the designations of the Corps were changed. The titles of these 68 units were valid until the creation of the Territorial Force in 1908.
