Artillery
Brigades
Field Artillery brigades were formed for infantry
divisions. In 1914 and 1915 the First and Second Division each had three
brigades equipped with 12 x 18 pounder field guns. In March 1916 a
fourth battery of four 18 pounder field guns was added. At the same time
a Howitzer Brigade was raised for each division with 12 x 4.5 inch
howitzers each.
On arrival in France, the artillery was reorganised
with each field artillery brigade having 12 x 18 pounders and 4 x 4.5
inch howitzers. The Howitzer Brigades then became Field Artillery
Brigades as well. Because there wasn't enough howitzer batteries, the
9th, 12th, 15th, 21st and 22nd Field Artillery Brigades had no howitzer
batteries. New batteries were raised for them, both in Australia and
England, the 118th, 119th, 120th, 116th and 117th respectively, but only
the 118th had joined its brigade before the artillery was reorganised
again in January 1917. Of the batteries raised in Australia, only the
116th and 117th had departed before the formation of the batteries in
England became known. Accordingly, the 116th and 117th were broken up
for artillery reinforcements on arrival in England while the others were
broken up in Australia and sent as reinforcements.
In January 1917, batteries were increased in size to 6
guns each in order to economise on battery and brigade commanders and
the number of Field Artillery Brigades in each division was reduced to
two. The 9th, 15th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th and 25th Field Artillery
Brigades were disbanded while the 3rd, 6th and 12th Field Artillery
Brigades became Army Brigades, not assigned to any division but more or
less permanently assigned to the Australian Corps. Because the new
howitzer batteries had not yet arrived, not all howitzer batteries were
reorganised until April 1917.
A Reserve Artillery Brigade was created as a training
unit in England on 28 November 1916 to train artillery reinforcements as
gunners, the number of guns and qualified instructors in Australia
having fallen too low for this to be carried out here.
A siege brigade was raised in April 1915, largely from
regular gunners of the Australian Garrison Artillery and wore the cap
badge of the Royal Australian Artillery rather than the " Rising
Sun" of the Australian Imperial Force. It operated mainly in
support of British units on the Western Front before it joined the
Australian Corps Heavy Artillery in March 1918.

Unlike Light Mortar Batteries these were manned by

February 1918 the batteries were reorganised. Each division was assigned
two numbered batteries equipped with six 6 inch Newton mortars.

Like Medium Mortar Batteries, these were manned by
artillerymen. In 1916 one heavy trench mortar battery was formed in each
division, numbered VnA where V was the letter V and not the number 5 and
n was the division number, similar to the Medium Trench Mortar
Batteries. The letter W was allocated for a second heavy trench mortar
battery per division but these were never formed. Heavy Trench Mortar
Batteries were each equipped with four 9.45 inch (240mm) mortars. In
January 1918 the batteries were disbanded and a single battery of six
9.45 inch mortars was assigned to the Australian Corps Heavy Artillery.

Ammunition
Columns
These hauled ammunition for the artillery. Originally
each division had a division ammunition column and three brigade
ammunition columns. In mid 1916, the brigade ammunition columns were
consolidated with the division ammunition column to economise on
transport, each division ammunition column having 1,040 horses. When
separate army brigades were formed in 1917, new brigade ammunition
columns were formed for them. Only the siege battery ammunition columns
were motorised, equipped with Peerless trucks.
