It’s not every day you get a birthday visit from the Royal Artillery Sergeant Major! Last week the RASM paid a visit to Bill on his 100th Birthday. Bill, not only having reached 100, is also an RA D-Day Veteran! The RASM delivered Bill a birthday card on behalf of the entire RA

Great to visit @47RegtRA today. What is being achieved by our Gunners @royalartillery1 and attached arms in the US and here, in the face of so many pressures, is humbling. Moving forward together and making Watchkeeper into what it always promised. @BritishArmy #FindandStrike

Yesterday, Gnr Davies of 74 Bty received the Mansergh Award at the @rhqra assembly, for non-operational gallantry. We are incredibly proud. “She represents the highest quality of a soldier and is thoroughly deserving of formal recognition.” #SoldierExcellence #findandstrike

Blown away by Blackpool. My first RA Assembly. Our family’s pride in our Mansergh Award winner was palpable @47RegtRA. Thank you @7AirDefence for presenting with me. Seamless! Thank you to all our regiments, branches and groups for supporting. @rhqra #FindandStrike

The relationship between the Sovereign and His Army is also defined by service. At its heart is the solemn oath taken by every soldier to defend the nation against His Majesty’s enemies; to follow His example of selfless commitment and devotion to duty. (3/5)

Gun salutes, horses, marching detachments, Pipes and Drums, hard graft from all our people both Regular and Reserve. I couldn’t be more proud of the Gunners’ support to His Majesty’s #Coronation. I was bursting with it. I still am. #FindandStrike @rhqra. Out.
