The Royal Artillery's historic move in May 2007 from Woolwich to Larkhill formally marked a change in the 291-year association between the Royal Artillery and Woolwich, with traditions extending far beyond 1716 to the reign of Henry VIII.
The Royal Artillery Woolwich - A Celebration will commemorate this event and its history through a richly illustrated colour volume. The book will look at the story of how the Gunners first came to Woolwich, the foundation and expansion of the Regiment, life in the garrison, its barracks, messes and church, battle honours, the evolution of the Royal Artillery Museum and life in the Regiment today centred on its operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Written by Brigadier Ken Timbers, who served four tours of duty in Woolwich, the book will contain over 200 images and include anecdotes, memories and memorabilia from Gunners with first-hand knowledge of the Regiment.
This is a unique milestone publication that every Gunner - past, present and future - will want to own, whether to remember their time in The Royal Artillery or as a reminder of the exceptional heritage of this very special Regiment.
