Welcome to Wikipedia

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for your interest in artillery volunteers. The main source for pre-Territorial Force Artillery Volunteers is Norman Litchfield & Ray Westlake, The Volunteer Artillery 1859-1908, which itself is based on the contemporary Army List and London Gazette as primary sources. Checking their page on 1st Cinque Ports Artillery Volunteers I found that I had missed a couple of points about the 1870 renumbering, which I have now added to the Wiki page.

The best way to find out what is already on Wikipedia about the AVCs is to look at Category:Artillery Volunteer Corps of the British Army. Whenever I add or edit a page, I try to make sure that there are redirects for all the individual AVCs and RVCs, pointing to the main pages (which may have completely different titles) and including them in this category and the category for their county. Not all contributors do it this way. Buckshot06 (a senior Wikipedia editor and my mentor) keeps pushing me to produce list pages for the artillery regiments etc, which is a lot of work, but we will get around to one day.Rickfive (talk) 14:03, 25 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
