The Royal Garrison Artillery (RGA) was formed in 1899 as a distinct arm of the British Army's Royal Regiment of Artillery serving alongside the other two arms of the Regiment, the Royal Field Artillery and the Royal Horse Artillery. The RGA were the 'technical' branch of the Royal Artillery who were responsible for much of the professionalisation of technical gunnery that was to occur during the First World War. The 77th Brigade, R.G.A. originally known as the 77th Heavy Artillery Group, was formed at Aldershot on October 27th, 1916, being transferred to Lydd on November 3, 1916. This is a history of the Brigade from its formation and the part it played in France in the First World War.
