The division remained in East Anglia, digging trenches, manning coastal defences. and training, until July 1916, when it moved to Salisbury Plain for final training. By then the artillery had received their 18-pounders and 4.5-inch howitzers. As with the other TF artillery, the brigade was assigned a number and became CCXC Brigade (290 Brigade). The batteries were redesignated A–C, a howitzer battery was added and became D Battery, and the brigade ammunition columns were abolished. To bring the batteries up to six guns, the 2/I London Bde was reinforced by a battery from 2/III London Bde and a howitzer battery from 2/IV London Bd.

By 1 December 1916 the battery was back at Dainville; moved to

on 9 December for operations against Monchy; and back to Dainville again by 15 December. By the year-end they were back with VI Corps once more. Like the 1/1st Battery, the 2/1st was moved from one HAG to another, transferring to the 65th HAG on 24 November 1916 and to 35th HAG by the end of 1916.
