The Regiment was actually formed at the turn of the century ( 1900 )
The Regiment was first formed as part of the reorganisation
of the Royal Field Artillery in 1900 and was designated as
32nd Brigade Royal field Artillery
In April 1923 the brigade was renumbered
16
Brigade Royal Field Artillery
In 1924 the seperate factions of RFA and RGA were amalgamated and hencforth
all Field Brigades were titled "
Field Brigade Royal Artillery "
Thus 16th Brigade RFA became
16 Field Brigade Royal Artillery.
This title remained until September 1938 when
all Royal Artillery and RHA brigades were reorganised
yet again and they became
16 Field Regiment RA
