Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery is the artillery personnel branch of the Canadian Forces (CF).

[edit] History

Many of the units and batteries of the Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery are older than Canada itself. The first artillery company in Canada was formed in the province of Quebec in 1750.

Volunteer Canadian artillery batteries existed before 1855 but their history is mostly unknown. Seven batteries of artillery were formed after the passage of the Militia Act of 1855 which allowed Canada to retain a paid military force of 5,000 men. One of the pre-1855 volunteer batteries formed in Saint John, New Brunswick in 1793 was called the “Loyal Company of Artillery” and exists today as the 3rd Field Artillery Regiment, RCA.

[edit] After Confederation

On 20 October 1871, the first regular Canadian army units were created, in the form of two batteries of garrison artillery; thus, that date is considered the regiment's birthday. A Battery in Kingston, Ontario and B Battery in Quebec City, Quebec were to become gunnery schools and perform garrison duties in their respective towns. They are still active today as part of the 1st Regiment, Royal Canadian Horse Artillery.

The Royal Canadian Artillery has participated in every major conflict in Canada's history.

[edit] Units of The Royal Canadian Artillery

Today, all of the field artillery regiments in the Canadian regular army wear the cap badge of the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery; the only Royal Canadian Artillery regiment in the regular army is 4th Air Defence Regiment, with the majority of RCA cap badged units in the militia.
