As at 15 Jan 38 (according to the RA Seniority and Distribution List February 1938) 98th (Surrey and Sussex Yeomanry, Queen Mary's) Army Fd Bde RA(TA) comprised the following Batteries (Locations in []):
389 (Sussex Yeomanry) Bty [Brighton)
390 (Sussex Yeomanry) Bty [Chichester]
391 (Sussex Yeomanry) Bty [Clapham Park, SW4]
392 (Sussex Yeomanry) How Bty [Clapham Park SW4]
Sounds illogical to me. Another source , "Three Men in a War" by John Gascoigne-Pees, gives the Orbat of 98th Field Regiment RA (TA) (Surrey and Sussex Yeomanry) in September 1939 as just two Batteries, each of three x four gun Troops:
391 (Sussex Yeomanry) Bty and 392 (Surrey Yeomanry) Bty.
When Fd Regts changed to a three Bty organisation 471 Fd Bty was formed to become 98 Fd Regt's third battery. Whether the latter saw themselves as Sussex or Surrey Yeoman is not recorded!
