R.H.A.
« on: Friday 06 August 10 03:37 BST (UK) »
Hi...

Found on the Internet, this reference..."He served in RHA during the war"
No mention of which one.
The person I am researching was from Aberdeen, Scotland, I believe I've found a record from WWI that has him serving with 17th Highland Light Infantry, Machine Gun Corp.
I'd appreciate input on what the initials stand/stood for, so I can look further into his background.
Thank you

I think it is "Royal Horse Artillery".....although there was a Royal Horse & Field Artillery, but I am not sure if they had the RHFA abb!.
