59th Army Group Royal Artillery : ウィキペディア英語版 | 59th Army Group Royal Artillery
59th Army Group Royal Artillery was an artillery formation of the British Army in World War II. Having operated in the North West Europe theatre in late 1944, it was switched to India to command artillery units preparing for the liberation of South-East Asia. ==Origin== The British War Office realised even before D-Day that the army's manpower situation was so bad that some formations in 21st Army Group would have to be disbanded sooner or later. At the end of August 1944 the junior infantry division, 59th (Staffordshire), was selected to be broken up to provide reinforcements for other formations.〔Ellis, Vol I, p. 453.〕〔Joslen, pp. 93–4.〕 However, the Headquarters, Royal Artillery, (HQRA) and the field artillery regiments of the division were converted into an Army Group Royal Artillery (AGRA) attached directly to Second Army under the designation 59 AGRA with the following composition:〔Ellis, Vol II, Appendix IV, p. 370.〕〔(59 AGRA at RA 39-45 )〕〔59 AGRA War Diary, August–December 1944, The National Archives (TNA), Kew file WO 171/912.〕 * HQ 59 AGRA * 61st (North Midland) Field Regiment, Royal Artillery * 110th (Manchester) Field Regiment, Royal Artillery * 116th (North Midland) Field Regiment, Royal Artillery * 59th AGRA Signals, Royal Corps of Signals * 28th Artillery Company, Royal Army Service Corps Units were regularly attached to and detached from AGRAs, so their order of battle was very fluid. For example, in the second half of October, 59 AGRA was operating with the following units under its command:〔 * 84th Medium Regiment, Royal Artillery * 121st Medium Regiment, Royal Artillery * 7th Medium Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery * 115th Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment, Royal Artillery However in early November, 61 and 110 Field Regiments returned in place of 84 and 121 Medium Regiments.
