The INDIANA JONES OF EBAY does it again !!...........I have managed to  purchase  THREE militaria collections.....&  TWO Police collections.....mainly patches, badges,insignia & headgear.
One of the main collection of patches & insignia, is a real treasure trove......I showed samples from it to one dealer who wanted to buy the entire collection...but I would rather let YOU the collectors have a chance than him  obtain them solely for profit.
The origianal owner  collected  some  older RARER patches...and also   filled the gaps of 'difficult / impossible to find 'items with good reproduction patches. I am Not an expert...........so this collection of  patches will be listed as low priced NO reserve........there are genuine and some good repros...I am not sure which is which....come on bag  a bargain.............any q's please email me.

The
Royal Artillery
, is the common name for the
Royal Regiment of Artillery
, is an Arm of the
British Army
. Despite its name, it is made up of a number of
regiments
.
The
Royal Horse Artillery
, which has always had separate traditions, uniforms and insignia, still retains a separate identity within the regiment, however, and is considered (by its members at least) to be an élite.
Before the
Second World War
, Royal Artillery recruits were required to be at least 5 feet 4 inches (1.6 m) tall. Men in mechanised units had to be at least 5 feet 8 inches (1.7 m) tall. They initially enlisted for six years with the colours and a further six years with the reserve or four years and eight years. They trained at the Royal Artillery Depot in Woolwich

The two World Wars brought massive expansion.  By 1917, there were 1,769 batteries in over 400 brigades totalling 548,000 men.
In the Second World War over a million men were serving in over 960 Gunner regiments.  With the coming of peace the Gunners reduced to 250,000 men and 365 batteries in 106 regiments.
Following the end of National Service and the Cold War, the Royal Artillery fell further to its lowest strength since the 1820s; 15 Regular and 7 Territorial Artillery Regiments.
