Royal Artillery
During the Great War the Royal Regiment of Artillery consisted of the Royal Horse Artillery, Royal Field Artillery and Royal Garrison Artillery. These combined into one corps in 1924. Unlike other regiments the Royal Artillery does not have battle honours specific to certain campaigns or battles. In 1832 the honours "Ubique" (meaning "Everywhere") and "Quo Fas et Gloria Ducunt" (meaning "Where destiny and glory lead us") were awarded to the regiment in recognition of the countless theatres in which the Royal Artillery have served. The huge part played by the Royal Artillery in every aspect of the Great War can be illustrated by the number of men involved. At the beginning of the Great War 93,000 officers and men were organised into 550 batteries. By the end of the Great War the British Army contained more than 500,000 artillerymen. That was more than one third of the British Army in the field. Up to 1,800 gun batteries had fired a total of 170,000,000 shells. Little wonder that some can still be found on the Western Front today.
