Field Regiments

Field regiments provided the close support for the infantry and armour. There would normally be three field regiments in each division, one being allocated to each brigade. They could also be found at Corps and Army level and in the Army Groups RA (AGRA) as extra firepower to be allocated as required.

All field regiments did the same basic job, although they sometimes had a different title such as Army Field Regiment to denote they were employed above divisional level. Jungle and Assault Field Regiments were also used.

Illustrations of the formation badges under which a unit served or supported are given. This is no guarantee that the unit used this formations badge.
