Please see “ Between the Wars, 1919-39”, a volume of the History of the Royal Regiment of Artillery, extracts under Annexes 1,2 and 3, which are taken from the RA Blue List, sadly no longer published.

Thank you, I have added an entry from the 1934 Army List that shows the Nowshera Brigade structure to my original reply.

There are two small confusions running through this thread:-
1. In 1920, under Army Order 142, the rank of bombardier was upgraded to replace that of corporal, the latter rank being abolished in the Gunners. In the same year the appointment of acting bombardier was changed to that of lance bombardier, both these appts wear a single chevron. Thus the NCO sporting pilot wings is a bombardier. 2. In 1938 throughout the Gunners the term Brigade was dropped for a Lt Col’s command in favour of Regiment (as it is today), 4th Fd Bde becoming 4th Fd Regt on 11 May. The Nowshera Brigade of all arms (as today), in the 1930s was commanded by Brigadier Harold Alexander, late Irish Guards, to become FM Lord Alexander of Tunis. |

Thank you for the useful clarification. Their vehicles carried the nomenclature 14 IV F and did not mention either Regiment or Brigade.

In the original photo of the Bdr, he appears to be sporting a broken collar badge on his right collar. Odd . . .
