"Siege Park" was the name used between Jan and Sep 1917 to describe what was known, both earlier and afterwards, as the "Mechanical Transport Company ASC attached to Corps Heavy Artillery". Its function was to move about those guns and howitzers of the RGA which were too big to be towed by a team of horses, and to bring up their ammunition.
