Throughout its existence, this regiment underwent several transformations and reconstitutions. It was eventually established as the 5th (Lucknow) Group Garrison Artillery on April 1st, 1917 and then evolved into VI (Lucknow) Field Brigade on October 1st, 1920. Finally becoming No13 (Lucknow) Field Battery in1933. This remarkable artifact belongs to the prestigious Field Marshal Sir John Chapple Indian Army Collection housed at London's National Army Museum.
