Origin of stable belts

The stable belt became  popular with the British  Army at the beginning of the  20th century, but was used long before that with cavalry regiments in the stables hence the name.In the 1900's the belt became popular with officers as they had been wearing ties in regiment colours. This led to the increase use of colours and stable  belts followed with the colours of the regiments.

RA Colours

The RA uses red with blue on flags, pennants and wherever else the colours are required. The colours are taken from The Union Flag.

Foundation Of the Regiment Of Artillery.

1899 was the year the  Royal Warrant of the Royal Garrison Artillery came to be as a separate corps, but in 1924 it was joined with the Field Regiments and was known as the Royal Artillery.
Today the Royal Artillery is made up of 9 Batteries of  the Royal Horse Artillery and 71 other Batteries.
