Brief History
The 9th Field Artillery Brigade had been formed in Egypt in early 1916 to support the newly raised 3rd Division. Its constituent elements were:
- 33rd Field Artillery Battery
- 34th Field Artillery Battery
- 35th Field Artillery Battery
- 118th Field Artillery (Howitzer) Battery
- Norman Alfred Constantine 31 Aug 1916 - 25 Jun 1917
- 9th Brigade Ammunition Column
The 9th FAB was disbanded in January 1917 to facilitate a restructure of AIF Artillery units. Batteries were increased in size to 6 guns each in order to economise on headquarters structures, and the number of Field Artillery Brigades in each division was reduced to two. Nine men died while posted to this unit, none form enemy action.
