About your point 5. I have seen a picture of the second badge you mention there. It is W.RIDING//QUO FAS/ETGLORIA/DUCUNT. Thus it does not mention if it is for I, II, II or IV (Howitzer) Brigade (or 1st, 2nd.3rd, 4th Brigade, I am still not sure what the official designations are). Was this badge used by all four?
BTW, I do not plan to buy any badge. I am no collector, I am interested in lineage and see the badges as illustrations only, e.g. the two badges of the 3rd Middx and the 5th London illustrate their continuity. But, being around on these forums for some time already, I am sure that your advice is a sound one.

Henk,
Can I recommend the following books that deal specifically with lineage and contain much of the information you require.
1. Lineage Book of British Land Forces 1660 - 1978, 2 volumes by J.B.M. Frederick 1984.
2. The Militia Artillery 1852 -1909, by Norman E.H. Litchfield, 1987
3. The Volunteer Artillery, Litchfield 1982
4. The Territorial Artillery 1908-1988 Litchfield 1992
