This is the official Facebook presence for The Royal Regiment of Artillery, a regiment of the British Army. Visit us at http://bit.ly/RoyalArtillery

The Royal Artillery comprises both Regular (full-time) and Reserve (part-time) units, located all around the UK. We were originally formed in 1716 in Woolwich, in South-East London, which remained our Regimental home for almost 300 years. Gunners – FIND, TRACK and STRIKE at range, anywhere, in all weathers and at any time, in order to defeat the enemy.

🌅 Not your average weekend morning.

While most people are enjoying a lie-in, our Gunners are getting ready for another day on the guns.

Early starts, cold mornings and long days in the field. It’s all part of life in the Royal Artillery Reserve.

But it’s also the chance to do something completely different from your day job, work alongside your mates and be part of a gun detachment that relies on everyone pulling their weight. 💪

Fancy swapping the occasional lie-in for something a bit different?

🏃 177 miles (285km). Seven days. Nearly 30,000ft of elevation. One incredible challenge.

After months of training, carb loading and taping up tired bodies, the team took on the relentless Offa's D**e Challenge, tackling mountains, roads, heat, rain and wind along the English-Welsh border.

And they've done it.

With the support of friends, families, colleagues and teammates, our 104 Regt RA heroes crossed the finish line together.

Being a Gunner Reservist is about more than the time you spend in uniform. It's about pushing your limits, sharing unforgettable experiences and knowing there's a team beside you when the going gets tough.

“The RA charities have changed my life.”

Those words from a Gunner veteran say more than we ever could.

After receiving support from the Royal Artillery family of charities - including a place to call home - his life changed.

And that doesn’t end when you leave the Army.

Thanks to initiatives such as the service Day’s Pay Scheme, the Royal Artillery Charitable Fund is there to help serving Gunners, veterans and their families when they need it most.

You only have to serve one day as a Gunner to become part of that family.

And once you’re part of it, the Royal Artillery charities are there for you - for life.

Every contribution helps ensure that, whether a Gunner needs support today, tomorrow or decades after leaving service, the Gunner family can be there.

One day of service. A lifetime of belonging.

Huge thanks to our friends at 100 RA who are hosting a fundraising dinner this weekend, we will be able to help many more deserving cases.
