Royal Artillery Officers uniform, 1825 64 Pounder Rifled Muzzle-Loader (RML) gun on Moncrieff disappearing mount, at Scaur Hill Fort, Bermuda. The regiment was involved in all major campaigns of the Napoleonic Wars; in 1804, naval artillery was transferred to the Royal Marine Artillery, while the Royal Irish Artillery lost its separate status in 1810 after the 1800 Union.
Since 1877 the regular batteries of the Royal Artillery had been organised as 11 'brigades' [a] of which 7th–11th Brigades were garrison artillery. Under General Order 72 of 4 April 1882 these five brigades were broken up and the garrison batteries of the regular Royal Artillery and all the part-time Artillery Militia units in the UK were organised into 11 territorial 'divisions'.

This list of regiments of the Royal Artillery covers the period from 1938, when the RA adopted the term 'regiment' rather than 'brigade' for a lieutenant-colonel's command comprising two or more batteries, to 1947 when all RA regiments were renumbered in a single sequence.
Artillery policy in the BEF was to withdraw heavy batteries from the divisions and group them into dedicated heavy artillery formations, so 14th Hvy Bty left 14th (Light) Division on 8 June and two days later (together with 1/1st Warwickshire and 9th Hvy Btys) it became part of the recently-arrived 16th Heavy Artillery Brigade, RGA.
