High Wood, that was an interesting photo showing the Bty marking on the Veh. Also of the link to the history of 17th Bty. One often reads of insignia being used to create confusion for the Enemy. It’s my lot to be even more confused than any enemy when trying to decipher the lineage of Artillery regiments and batteries. Honour Titles seem to the unknowing, to follow the same edict! Being transferred to other batteries (leading one to ponder, “Where’s the connection?”) The “Honour Title” Corunna, commemorates the actions by Capt. Wilmot’s Company and Capt. Truscott’s Company, both of 3rd Battalion R.A.. I wonder how many batteries have carried that Title since it was first awarded, and when was that? See my attached picture of the 14th Corunna Bty.
