Exploring the Variety of Random
Documents with Different Content
tracing their exact history. According to the records of the Royal
Horse Artillery, the Second Rocket Troop was formed before the
First; but in this particular, as in another presently to be mentioned,
these records are inaccurate. The following would appear to be the
true statement of the case. In June 1813, some Rocket
detachments, under Captain R. Bogue, were ordered to Germany,
and were present at the Battle of Leipsic. In 1814 a Rocket Troop
was formed at Woolwich, under the command of Captain W. G.
Elliot; and on the same day Captain E. C. Whinyates was appointed
to the command of the Second Rocket Troop vice Bogue, killed at
Leipsic. Now, the Battle of Leipsic was fought in October—1813, and
Captain Whinyates' appointment was dated the 2nd March 1814. It
would appear, therefore, that the two Rocket Troops were formed
together, out of existing detachments, and that the one formed at
Woolwich was named the First, while that formed out of the
detachments on the Continent was called the Second. Although the
detachments present at Leipsic became the Second Rocket Troop,
they were present at that battle not as a troop, but as detachments;
and as the troop was reduced on 31st July 1816, their Leipsic
services, by some mistake, were afterwards credited to the First
Rocket Troop, which would actually appear to have received
permission to wear "Leipsic" on its appointments in commemoration
of the services, not of itself, but of the defunct troop.
In 1847 rocket carriages were given to all the troops, and the
remaining Rocket Troop became I Troop of the Royal Horse Artillery.
In addition to the Second Rocket Troop, D Troop also was reduced in
1816; and, in spite of strong remonstrances,—among others, from
the late Sir Robert Gardiner, then Captain of E Troop,—the titles of
all the troops below D were changed, E, F, G, H, and I becoming
respectively D, E, F, G, and H. The injury and inconvenience caused
by this alteration of nomenclature have proved very great. K, L and
M Troops were reduced at the same time, but being the juniors,
their reduction did not affect the lettering of the others.
In January, 1819, B and G Troops were reduced; but on this
occasion no alteration was made in the designations of the other
troops. B Troop was reformed on the 1st 1855, as a reserve half-
troop, under a Second Captain, and was augmented to a full troop in
the following year. G Troop was reformed at Woolwich on the 1st
December, 1857, and also K Troop on the same day.
On the 1st July, 1859, with the introduction of the Brigade System,
came an alteration in the titles of the troops, which were now
designated as Batteries of the Horse Brigade. In 1862, on account of
the amalgamation with the East India Company's Artillery, the old
Royal Horse Artillery became the First Horse Brigade of the Royal
Artillery; and in 1864, to enable the Indian reliefs to be carried on
without sending the whole of the old Horse Artillery abroad at one
time, the First Horse Brigade was divided into A and B Brigades of
the Royal Horse Artillery.
At the date of this work (1872) the following list shows the present
designations of the old troops, as they stood in 1859:—
A Troop is now called A Battery A Brigade
B Troop is now called B Battery A Brigade
C Troop is now called C Battery A Brigade
D Troop is now called A Battery B Brigade
E Troop is now called B Battery B Brigade
F Troop is now called C Battery B Brigade
G Troop is now called D Battery A Brigade
H Troop is now called D Battery B Brigade
I Troop is now called E Battery B Brigade
K Troop is now called E Battery A Brigade
The military operations in which these batteries have been severally
engaged, and their succession of Captains, will now be given. The
more detailed history given of A Troop—"The Chestnut Troop"—is
attributable to the labour taken by its Captain, the late Sir Hew Ross,
who completed the records of its active service with his own hand.

 FIFTH BATTALION.
On the 14th August, 1794, an augmentation of five companies to the
Royal Artillery was sanctioned, to be called, after organization, the
Fifth Battalion. The companies were formed,—two at Plymouth and
three at Woolwich,—by transfers from other battalions. Major-
General Duncan Drummond was appointed Colonel en seconde; the
first Lieutenant-Colonel was Edward Williams; and the Major, Robert
Douglas. Captains Rogers and Miller commanded the companies
formed at Plymouth, and Captains Hutton, Harding, and Sproule,
those at Woolwich. The following was the strength of the five
companies:—
10 Captains and Captain-Lieutenants.
12 Lieutenants, 15 being the normal number.
2 Staff Sergeants.
20 Sergeants.
45 Corporals and Bombardiers.
5 Drummers.
324 Gunners.
On the 6th March, 1795, five additional companies were added to
the battalion; and the total number of companies remained ten until
the year 1819, when Nos. 7 and 8 were reduced; Nos. 9 and 10
becoming respectively Nos. 7 and 8.
No very great augmentation to the strength of the battalion took
place during the earlier years of its existence, except in the year
1804, when a second Colonel was added, and also twenty men per
company. The services of the companies were very varied and
distinguished, including the Campaigns in Egypt, Cape of Good
Hope, South America, Spain, and Holland.
Annexed is the history of each Company's active service, and the
succession of Captains up to the introduction of the Brigade System:
