The Royal Field Artillery (RFA) was a cornerstone of British artillery support during the First World War, providing mobile field guns to support infantry operations. The RFA played a critical role in major battles on the Western Front, including the Battle of Mons in 1914, the Battle of the Somme in 1916, and the Battle of Passchendaele in 1917. They were responsible for delivering barrages, counter-battery fire, and supporting creeping barrages to protect advancing troops. The RFA’s adaptability and precision were vital to the war effort.
