The Royal Garrison Artillery operated larger and less mobile guns than the Field Artillery and the Siege Batteries operated the largest guns and howitzers. These were either mounted on concrete emplacements or on railway carriages and consequently they usually remained in the same sector of the line for long periods, coming under the orders of a Heavy Artillery Group. Alfred Rousset died from wounds on 11th November, 1914, after having been brought back to the United Kingdom but as yet, there is no information, as to when and where he was wounded. The 1st Siege Battery of the Royal Garrison Artillery had arrived in France at the beginning of the war |
