1. awarded 1816, but it soon became apparent that the RA was present in all battles and deserved most of the honours awarded to cavalry and infantry regiments; in 1833 King William IV awarded the motto "Ubique" as a substitute for all past and future battle honours (the whole badge bearing the motto being the battle honour), but "Waterloo" was carried in Army Lists for some time thereafter; troops and batteries had also been awarded separate quasi-battle honours, but these were considered defunct in 1833 and replaced in 1925 by a battery "honour title" system. |
|
| Note: The Royal Artillery has never carried Colours since to do so would be more of a battlefield hindrance than help. In 1833 King William IV designated the guns as the "Colours", to be accorded much the same honour. | ||
