1st Army Group Royal Artillery

1st Army Group Royal Artillery was formed in September 1942, with its headquarters located at Glasgow.

In January 1943 the AGRA went overseas to Tunisia. It operated with V Corps, under First Army. In October of that year it entered the Italian campaign, operating with V Corps again, only this time under Eighth Army. The AGRA transferred temporarily to X Corps in February 1945, then returning to V Corps for the rest of the war.
