"Royal Artillery: A Legacy of Strength and Tradition" Step back in time to the year 1935, where the R A Draghounds gathered at The Bull Hotel in Farningham. With excitement and anticipation filling the air, this meeting marked a momentous occasion for these esteemed individuals. As we delve deeper into history, our minds are transported to the infamous Charge of the Light Brigade. Though not directly related to the Royal Artillery, this iconic event serves as a reminder of bravery and valor displayed on countless battlefields throughout time. In 1936, another chapter unfolded as the Royal Artillery Draghunt embarked on an exhilarating journey at Eynsford. Crossing bridges over the mighty Darent River, they showcased their skill and camaraderie amidst picturesque landscapes. The following year brought us to Chislehurst in Kent, where once again, the Royal Artillery Draghunt captivated audiences with their equestrian prowess. Their dedication to tradition and sport was evident as they navigated challenging terrains with grace and determination. But let us not forget that beyond hunts and pageantry lies a more solemn duty - that of defending nations. Witnessing 105mm Light Artillery Guns at a Military Pageant reminds us of their unwavering commitment to safeguarding peace through strength. Venturing further across continents brings us face-to-face with historical moments etched forever in memory. From Madagascar's shores to Tamatave's fortifications, British envoys were escorted by none other than members of the Royal Artillery - exemplifying professionalism even amidst unfamiliar lands. The Ashanti Expedition takes us back even further - Captain Benson leading his troops forward under intense circumstances. This lithograph captures both danger and resilience within its intricate details. Kumassi comes alive before our eyes through yet another lithograph from 1896 - showcasing a bird's-eye view that encapsulates both beauty and tension during colonial times.
