Hi Mark, found a website to day that says B and C batteries had between them no less than 16 howitzers, but before Singapore they were equipped with 25pdrs.

Hi Nuyt;

According to the history of the Royal Regiment of Artillery, the 155th Field Regiment (Lanarkshire Yeomanry) were equipped with 24x 4.5" howitzers from their formation in February 1940 (conversion of the Lanarkshire Yeomanry to a Fd Regt, RA), until "C" Bty was re-equipped with 25pdrs in January 1942, while "B" Bty retained the 4.5" how.. This is the only reference I can find to any of the three original batteries ("A", "B" and "C") of the Regiment being equipped with 25pdrs.

Cheers
