context_page_description: The Royal Horse Artillery was formed in 1793 as a distinct arm of the Royal Regiment of Artillery of the British Army. Horses are still in service for ceremonial purposes but were phased out from operational deployment during the 1930s.
  The Royal Horse Artillery, currently consists of three regiments, and one ceremonial unit. Almost all the batteries of the Royal Horse Artillery have served continuously since the French Revolutionary Wars or Napoleonic Wars, except the King's Troop which has existed since 1946 and M Battery which was 'reanimated' in 1993.

  The King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery based at King George VI Lines, Royal Artillery Barracks, Woolwich
