We remember that on this day 80 years ago, 2Lt George Ward Gunn MC RHA of J (Sidi Rezegh) Battery RHA was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions at Sidi Rezegh. The Battery was consequently awarded the Sidi Rezegh Battle Honour and celebrate every year. Happy Sidi Rezegh Day!

How do you wish a happy birthday in true RHA style?
At 12 noon on Sunday 15th November, a 21 gun salute was fired by the Regiment at Museum Gardens in York to mark the 73rd birthday of HRH The Prince of Wales. The guns were manned by C Battery RHA and commanded by the Adjutant.

This morning L (Néry) Bty RHA paraded in France to mark Armistice Day before being impeccably hosted for a six-hour lunch by our friends in Néry.
The preceding days have included visits to Arras, Lillers, and the site in Compiègne where the Armistice was signed 103 years ago.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.

Sgt Nelson was one of three L Bty VC recipients following the ‘Affair at Néry’.
After reaching the rank of Major, Nelson was subsequently killed in action and laid to rest in Lillers, France. Today the Bty visited his grave en route to Néry.
Lest we forget.

Convincing wins yesterday for the Regiment’s Football and Rugby Teams.
A 4-1 away win against ITC Catterick in the Army Cup for our footballers was matched by an equally impressive 42-7 home victory against 1 RLC for the Rugby Team.

Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTACs) from the Regiment have deployed on Ex ROYAL BLACKHAWK in Belfort, France. This has seen them work closely with the German Bundeswehr and Belgian Defence - here they can be seen conducting a battlegroup air assault into a local village.

Bula Vinaka! Happy Fiji Day to our Fijian soldiers, their families and the Fijian community.
This year, Fiji Day marks the 71st anniversary of both Fiji's cession to the UK and its independence, a great achievement! We are delighted and proud to have you serving in our ranks.

Walking into the weekend on the Pentland Hills just outside of Edinburgh, Ex NÉRY NAV was an opportunity to get some more miles in the legs and develop the navigation skills of our most junior soldiers.
Thanks to LBdr Bower for organising a cracking day out!

A great performance today from our Football Team at the UK North 7 a-side competition. Up against 19 other sides, 3 RHA reached the final but were unlucky to be pipped at the post on penalties. Man of the Tournament was our goalkeeper Gnr Smart and Golden Boot was LBdr Yhia.
