About This Book

The volume presents a detailed institutional history of the Royal Artillery, tracing its administrative origins under the Masters‑General of the Ordnance, early development, formal organization, and establishment of training at Woolwich. It follows the creation and succession of battalions, troops, and companies, profiles key figures and administrative reforms, and narrates the corps' participation in major sieges and campaigns through the late eighteenth century. Extensive chapterized accounts are complemented by appendices and tables that record unit lineages, captain successions, and battery designations to aid readers in following organizational continuity.
