In 1916 and 1917 there was a renaming and renumbering of Artillery Brigades and Batteries. As an example, in 1916, the IV Wessex Brigade was renamed, becoming the 218th (IV Wessex) Brigade, RFA. In 1917, the component batteries were numbered, with the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Devonshire Batteries becoming 1094th, 1095th, and 1096th Batteries. <ref>Hoplophile.

==Boy Trumpeters in the Royal Artillery==
''The Regulations for Recruiting for the Regular Army'' published in 1903 laid out the criteria under which boys aged between fourteen and seventeen years could be recruited. In prior years the recruitment was from even earlier ages. Many such Boys in the Royal Artillery trained as Trumpeters.
A regimental history is ''Trumpeters- The Story of the Royal Artillery's Boy Trumpeters''
by Brian Cloughley 2008. Boy trumpeters, known as 'badgies', were a fixture of the British Army for centuries, right up until the 1940s. The majority of trumpeters went to or stayed in India. ‘Badgie’ is derived from the Hindi baju, meaning ‘music’. Badgie wallahs were the music men and timekeepers in days when there were no other means of notifying large numbers of soldiers that they were required for various duties.<ref>[http://www.woodfieldpublishing.co.uk/contents/en-uk/p275_boy-trumpeters-Royal-artillery-1920s-1940s-British-army.html ''Trumpeters- The Story of the Royal Artillery's Boy Trumpeters''] woodfieldpublishing.co.uk</ref>
An individual account is found in ''Pick Up Your Parrots and Monkeys: The Life of a Boy Soldier in India'' by William Pennington 2003, who commenced his training in 1934 as a Boy Trumpeter at age 14 in England, and was posted to India at age 15.
