	241 Brigade ROYAL FIELD ARTILLERY
		In collaboration with the present Royal Artillery Battery in Worcester, copies of the war diaries were purchased, and the information available on men and movements was eventually computerised in order to provide a ready source of reference for others researching their relatives who may have served with the brigade.
		The knowledge base was further enhanced in 2007 with the purchase of a copy of the official history of the brigade, written in 1921 by Captain A.C. Williams who served with the brigade.
		The brigades were renumbered in 1916 and became 240, 241, 242 and 243 Brigades.

	Some notes on the Royal Artillery in the Peninsula 1808
		During the Peninsula, the artillery was also short of many support vehicles; due to a lack of ammunition wagons etc the artillerymen had to carry gun powder barrels on their shoulders from the magazines.
		The lack of horses meant that not only was the British army in the Peninsula chronically short of artillery, but that the artillery that did have horses was not up to strength and could not move at their fastest rate.
		Furthermore we can observe that the 12-pounder was used by the Royal Artillery as a field gun and that the 9-pounder was not adopted as a means to counteract the French artillery, but to save on the number of horses used to move the artillery.

		The Royal Regiment of Artillery (RA) in its modern form was created in 1924 by amalgamation of the Royal Field Artillery and the Royal Garrison Artillery.

		Following the artillery bombardment, it was determined that a creeping barrage would precede the advancing infantry to the German front line, and onwards to the second and third trench lines.
		The Royal Artillery had prepared an underground network of telephone cables so as to enable forward observation officers to monitor and correct the barrage as the battle progressed.
		However the advance artillery bombardment failed to destroy either the German front line barbed wire or the heavily-built concrete bunkers the Germans had carefully and robustly constructed.
