Joining the ANZACs

140 Siege Battery RGA.  21st March 1917.

My Grandad's battery is transfered from 36 HAG to 14 HAG under the command of 1st ANZAC Corps due to army reorganisations as the war moves on and more units are moved north to the Ypres front.
14 HAG comprised of 33 SB, 34 SB, 42 SB, 88 SB, 140 SB and 194 SB.


ANZAC artillery 'Zig Zag' flash.
Worn as a distinguishing unit indication at the head of each sleeve for 36 Australian Heavy Artillery Group from 1917 to 1918 and 36 Australian Heavy Artillery Brigade from 1918 to 1919.
