Royal Artillery

The Royal Artillery provide the guns for Wellington's army,  and the expertise to fire them. Like the Royal Engineers, they are part of the Board of Ordnance (hence why they wear blue not red). Like Engineers, Artillery officers are promoted on seniority alone. They are not a purely officer corps, having other ranks who do the actual work of laying, loading and firing the guns.

Artillery comes in both Foot Artillery and Horse Artillery, with variations in their uniform. Foot Artillery have bigger and heavier guns, such as those used in the siege train, whereas the guns of the Horse Artillery are smaller, lighter and more manoeuvrable, and may be moved around a battlefield with relative ease.

Other Ranks' titles differ from those of soldiers in the infantry and cavalry branches, with the private equivalent rank being Gunner. Bombardier is the equivalent of Corporal, but they use the rank of Sergeant to denote the senior non-commissioned rank.
