I transferred into 2 armoured Sqn Waikato as their Medic from 1st Field Ambulance and remained with that unit until it was disbanded to merge with QA (Wai/WEC) I went on from there to 1 NZ Scots and eventually to @ Cant NMWC
I now read several references to QA Squadron but no clear indication of the origin of the name (Queen Alexandra's). How was it bestowed?

Could anyone shed light on why my grandfather was at School of Farriery at an Artillery Training Depot in Gloucester on 23/01/1918.? He was fighting on the Western Front
