This is the organisation for a Battery in an Infantry Division consisting of Troops of 6 pounder and 17 pounder guns. It was usually split into 3 Troops, two of 17 pounders and one of 6 pounders.
As the Archer, Self Propelled 17 pounder became available, it replaced one Troop of 17 Pounder towed. At the same time the remaining 17 pounder Troop had its gun tractors replaced by halftracks with winches.
