105th Medium Battery, Royal Australian Artillery

The battery was based at Gona Barracks at Kelvin Grove, Queensland at this time.

During the years prior to World War II, the battery conducted several training camps around Brisbane.

The battery embarked on their first annual training camp, held on the southern shores of the Brisbane River at Lytton in 1927.

A new artillery range was opened by Assistant Minister for Defence Mr. J. Francis in September 1934 at Mound Walker (near Rosewood).

This exercise was held annually until 1939, when the Caloundra Range was established on a beach 64 miles (103 km) to the north of Brisbane.

After training in Northern Ireland together with the British unit, they deployed to Helmand Province, Afghanistan in 2010.

This was the first time since the Vietnam War that 105th Medium Battery personnel have been deployed in their role as artillery operators in combat.
