Photographs supplied by Peter F Williams
The plaque commemorates the Royal Regiment of Australian Artillery which was founded in 1871.
The Royal Regiment of Australian Artillery, normally referred to as the Royal Australian Artillery (RAA), is a Regiment of the Australian Army descended from the original colonial artillery units prior to Australia`s federation. The first Royal Artillery unit arrived in Australia in 1856 and began a succession of gunner units that garrisoned Australia, which ended with the withdrawal of the imperial forces in 1870. This resulted in the raising of the Victorian Artillery Corps in Melbourne in 1870 and the New South Wales Artillery in Sydney in 1 August 1871.
