The Royal Regiment of Artillery, commonly referred to as the Royal Artillery (RA) and colloquially known as "The Gunners", is one of two regiments that make up the artillery arm of the British Army.
The Royal Regiment of Artillery is the artillery arm of the British Army and has been in official service since 1716.
Despite the name, the unit actually comprises several regiments.
In 1899, the Royal Artillery was split into three arms - the Royal Field Artillery (RFA), the Royal Horse Artillery (RHA) and the Royal Garrison Artillery (RGA).
In 1924, the RFA and RGA were merged back into one regiment, the Royal Artillery.
The badge of the Royal Artillery consists of a muzzle-loading gun surmounted by a crown and scroll bearing the motto 'Ubique'. This translates as 'Everywhere' and reflects the fact that wherever the Army has served gunners have been part of the force. Below is another scroll that reads 'Quo Fas et Gloria Ducunt' (Wherever Right and Glory Lead).
