The Royal Garrison Artillery (RGA) was formed in 1899 as a distinct arm of the British Army's Royal Regiment of Artillery serving alongside the other two arms of the Regiment, the Royal Field Artillery (RFA) and the Royal Horse Artillery (RHA). The RGA were the 'technical' branch of the Royal Artillery who were responsible for much of the professionalisation of technical gunnery that was to occur during the First World War. It was originally established to man the guns of the British Empire's forts and fortresses, including coastal artillery batteries, the heavy gun batteries attached to each infantry division and the guns of the siege artillery. The RGA was amalgamated with the RFA in 1924, from which time the only two arms within the Royal Regiment of Artillery have been the Royal Artill

  • Die Royal Garrison Artillery (RGA) war ein Teil der Royal Artillery. Ihre Aufgabe war die Bemannung der Geschütze in den Befestigungsanlagen des Britisch Empire einschließlich der Küstenartillerie, der schweren Artillerie der Infanteriedivisionen und der Geschütze der Belagerungsartillerie. Von 1914 an, als die britische Armee nur einen kleinen Anteil schwerer Artillerie besaß, wuchs sie zu einer bedeutenden, mit schweren Kanonen und Haubitzen großen Kalibers ausgerüsteten, hinter der Front befindlichen Komponente der britischen Streitkräfte mit erheblicher Schlagkraft heran. Sie wurde am 1. Juli 1899 geschaffen, als die Royal Artillery in die drei Teile Royal Field Artillery (RFA), Royal Horse Artillery (RHA) und Royal Garrison Artillery (RGA) aufgespalten wurde. Der Name wurde mit Unterbrechungen bis in die 1920er Jahre benutzt, als die Royal Garrison Artillery wieder in die Royal Artillery eingegliedert wurde. (de)
