Palestine. Between 13 and 21 April CCLXVIII Bde was broken up, and C (H) Bty transferred within the division to XLIV Bde as D (H) Bty. The battery embarked at Alexandria on 3 May and concentrated with 74th (Y) Division in the Abbeville district for training, principally in defence against gas. At the end of the month the division went into GHQ reserve while continuing its training. It took its place in the line on 14 July, and the participated in the Allied Hundred Days Offensive, including the battles of Bapaume and Épehy, and the final advance into Flanders. Interwar The TF was reconstituted on 7 February 1920 and the unit reformed at Plumstead as 8th London (Howitzer) Bde, though now with four batteries numbered 21st–24th. Colonel E.H. Eley was still in command; in 1924 he became the brigade's Honorary Colonel. When the TF was reorganised as the Territorial Army (TA) in 1921, the brigade was redesignated 65th (London) Brigade, regaining its '8th London' title the following year to become: 65th (8th London) Brigade, RFA 257 (21st London) Bty at St Margaret's Road, Plumstead 258 (22nd London) Bty at St Margaret's Road, Plumstead 259 (23rd London) Bty at Southend Row, Eltham 260 (24th London) Bty (Howitzer) at St Margaret's Road, Plumstead When the RFA was subsumed into the Royal Artillery (RA) on 1 June 1924, its units were redesignated as 'Field Brigades' and 'Field Batteries', RA. In the reformed TA, 65th (8th London) Field Bde was again part of 47th (2nd London) Division. In 1926 the unit became the first TA field artillery brigade to be mechanised, replacing their draught horses with agricultural tractors. By 1930, 257 (21st London) Bty had moved to South Street, Greenwich, and 260 (24th London) at Plumstead had exchanged with 259 (23rd London) at Eltham. Then about December 1934, Brigade HQ, 257 and 260 Btys moved to 43/45 Eltham Road, Lee Green, leaving 258 and 259 at Plumstead. In 1935 most of 47th (2nd London) Division was converted into 1st Anti-Aircraft Division and the remaining London units were reassigned. By the outbreak of war in 1939 65th Fd Bde had joined 44th (Home Counties) Division. When the RA adopted the term 'regiment' instead of the obsolete 'brigade' for a lieutenant-colonel's command, the unit became 65th (8th London) Field Regiment, RA, on 1 November 1938. After the Munich Crisis the TA was rapidly doubled in size.
