Hi Nuyt;

I had forgot to mention that "B" and "C" Batteries went into Singapore with 16x 4.5" howitzers total (8x per Bty), I'll see if I can find anything on the 25pdrs, the way I read it, is that, they arrived in India (from the UK) w/4.5" howitzers, "A" Bty staying in India (w/8x 4.5" how.) to form the base of a new Field Regiment while "B" and "C" went on to Singapore.

Cheers
