Glynnpeters (?).

On 11 Nov 1918, 15th Light Trench Mortar Battery was assigned to 5th
Division in France and Flanders and attached to 15th Infantry
Brigade. These batteries were independent and not part of any Royal
Artillery Brigade.

The 5th Division on the same date consisted of 13th, 14th and 15th Infantry
Brigades and also included HQ Divisional Artillery and 15th and 27th
Brigades, Royal Field Artillery and X/5 and Y/5 Medium Trench Mortar
Batteries, Royal Artillery.
