The information for a Medium Gun Battery 1940 is based on two publications. The establishment is based on War Establishment III/1931/10A/1 dated 3 May 1939. The organisation is taken from Artillery Training Volume 1, Pamphlet No. 2A 1940. RHA, Field & Medium Regiments – Battle Drill and Manœuvre for the Reconnaisance and Occupation of Positions dated 6th March 1940. This is slightly different from the War Establishment tables.
