It will thus be observed that there is a radical difference between 
the mobilisation of the Regimental Staff of Corps Artillery and of the 
R.A. Staff of an Infantry Division : the former is a self-contained unit, 
and the Colonel Commanding is in the same position in respect to the 
General Officer Commanding the Army Corps, as is the commander of 
one of the Infantry Divisions composing it: the latter is included in 
the Staff of the Infantry Division to which it belongs, and has no 
existence as a separate unit. 
The Colonel Commanding the Corps Artillery is responsible for the 
mobilisation of his Staff, and for the arrangements at the concentration 
place for the assembly of the units under his command, subject to in¬ 
structions from the Corps Commander, he acts on his own initiative 
throughout. 
The Lieut.-Colonel Commanding the Divisional Artillery and Ammu¬ 
nition Column, on the other hand, has no Staff to mobilise as a separate 
unit; he has merely to put himself in communication with his personnel, 
with a view to assembly at the place and time ordered by the Com¬ 
mander of the Infantry Division. 
It may be mentioned incidentally that the R. ,i. Officers on the Head- 
Quarters Staff of an Army Corps are : an Officer Commanding Royal 
Artillery (Major-General or Brigadier-General), a Brigade-Major, R.A. 
and an Aide-de-Camp.
