message: If I remeber rightly from my time in the RA the unit numbers are cardinal and not ordinal numbers. I have changed these after looking at http://www.army.mod.uk/royalartillery/ra_units.htm. TinyMark 18:42, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Or was the ordinal numbering only for RHA Regts? I decided not to make the changes because I would have to move all the other Regimental pages, and make a lot of redirects! If anyone else wants to - good luck. TinyMark 18:52, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ordinal numbers of regiments 

message: I removed this text froom the article:
Among the Territorial Army regiments was the West Riding Artillery.
26th Regiment Royal Artillery Association. In 1993 the association was formed to enable serving and ex serving members of the regiment to meet bi-annually. Since then the association has grown in membership and currently have approximately 500 full members. Hopefully, the associations web site will reach people in all parts of the world that either serve or have served in 26th Regiment Royal Artillery, whatever their cap badge might have been. 26th Regt RA Association
I am moving it to the 26 article. TINYMark (Talk) 16:42, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I have recreated the Royal_Regiment_of_Artillery page, and removed redirect to the Royal_Artillery page. Why?? They have two distinct capbadges, and while the history is linked together, they still have there own distinctions. In the British_Army, its ALL known as Royal Artillery, but within the Gunners, its very distinct. QUESTIONS???? --Jezarnold (talk) 21:36, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I would like to place the image of every Battery emblem against each battery page. Is this possible? Or does it go against the rules of Wikipedia:Images --Jezarnold (talk) 18:31, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Images of all Battery emblems 

message: As a chance reader, I found this section to be highly relevant, very helpful indeed--and not idle trivia as opined by the person who added the trivia template (which I've lifted). The only real trivia was the following, which can already be found in its proper place-- the Spike Milligan article. * During World War II comedian Spike Milligan served as a signaller in the 56th Heavy Regiment, D Battery, as Gunner Milligan, 954024.

message: Browsing through the Category:Royal_Artillery_regiments I discovered something that needed amending, which I did. I then discovered more categories.. Category:Royal_Artillery_regiments, Category:Units_and_formations_of_the_Royal_Artillery, Category:British_batteries.. In my opinion, I believe Wikipedia has too many categories. Would it be wise to categorise all these units with just ONE category?? I believe Category:Units_and_formations_of_the_Royal_Artillery would be the most suitable.. Jez ☎ ✉ ✍ 13:29, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The issue is over-categorisation. There should be nothing (or little) in :Category:Units_and_formations_of_the_Royal_Artillery. All the batteries should be in :Category:British_batteries and not in the main Units cat. Kernel Saunters (talk) 15:36, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The other problem is :Category:British_batteries should be called :Category:Royal Artillery batteries. I'll get this renamed Kernel Saunters (talk) 15:54, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Can someone explain why we can tolerate an article like D Battery Royal Horse Artillery which is nowt but a collection of empty subheads? Meanwhile, other articles containing notable events and facts are being speedily deleted! Cheers Bjenks (talk) 16:13, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry User:Bjenks... I have slowly been creating the batteries for some time, but work and fitting a new kitchen got in the way.. if you could hold out for a few weeks, and I will have all the info there soon. Cheers User:Kernel Saunters for the re-categorisation.  As you mentioned the Batteries themselves should really only be Category:Royal Artillery Batteries and the Regiments Category:Royal Artillery Regiments.. Thanks! Jez ☎ ✉ ✍ 16:36, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

message: The source given in The Future of the Royal Artillery section says "12th and 16th RA will continue to be under the joint Army-RAF unit, Joint Ground Based Air Defence" however the reference only says where the units are and where in the future the units will be based. Please rectify. Gavbadger (talk) 23:32, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

message: I note this article is lacking badly when it comes to its history during arguably its most formative war IE ww1 ,can someone add a seperate page to the RA during ww1 as to have so little info about it is doing it a dis-service Bullseye30 (talk) 10:54, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Please feel free to go ahead, though it might be better to expand the current article rather than adding a new page / article.  Hamish59 (talk) 18:13, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
