Armed with five 9 pounder guns and a single 5½" howitzer,[3][a] it took part in the Hundred Days Campaign in 1815 under the command of Captain (brevetMajor) Norman Ramsay.[2] During the Battle of Waterloo it was ordered to support the garrison at Hougoumont. By the end of the day, it had lost four of five officers, including Ramsay.[5] It then took part in the advance to Paris and joined the Army of Occupation.[2]
In commemoration of its performance at the Battle of Waterloo, the Honour Title "Ramsay's Troop" was officially granted to the battery on 13 October 1926.[6]
In the usual post-war reductions of the British Army, a number of troops of horse artillery were disbanded between 1815 and 1816, including D Troop (Beane's Troop) on 31 July 1816.[7] The remaining troops were then moved up to assume the next available letter[8] and the H Troop became G Troop on the same date. It, too, was disbanded on 31 January 1819.[1]
Victorian era
In the wake of the Crimean War and amidst the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the battery was re-raised on 1 December 1857 as G Battery.[1] On 1 July 185, it was at Portobello Barracks, Dublin when it was assigned to the Horse Brigade, Royal Artillery[9] along with all the existing horse artillery batteries of the Royal Artillery. This was an administrative, rather than tactical, formation.[10]
As a result of the Rebellion, the British Crown took direct control of India from the East India Company on 1 November 1858 under the provisions of the Government of India Act 1858. The Presidency armies transferred to the direct authority of the British Crown and its European units were transferred to the British Army. Henceforth artillery, the mutineers most effective arm, was to be the sole preserve of the British Army (with the exception of certain Mountain Artillery batteries). On 19 February 1862, the Horse Brigade RA became the 1st Horse Brigade RA and the Bengal, Madras and Bombay horse artillery formed the 2nd to 5th Horse Brigades.[11][b]
The 1st Brigade with 10 batteries was much larger than the other four (with four to seven batteries each). Therefore, a reorganization of the Horse Artillery on 13 April 1864 saw 1st Brigade split as A and B Brigades.[12][c] The battery was moved to A Brigade, and as battery designations were tied to the brigade the battery was assigned to, it was redesignated as D Battery, A Brigade (or D/A Battery in short).[1] The battery was at Woolwich at this time.[13]
From 1866, the term "Royal Horse Artillery" appeared in Army List[14] hence the battery was designated D Battery, A Brigade, Royal Horse Artillery from about this time. Another reorganization, on 14 April 1877, saw the number of brigades reduced to three (of 10 batteries each); the battery – at Woolwich[15] – remained in A Brigade but dropped in seniority and became H Battery, A Brigade.[16] The number of brigades was further reduced to two (of 13 batteries each) in 1882 without effecting the designation of the battery[17] by which time it was at Exeter.[18]
The brigade system was finally abolished on 1 July 1889. Henceforth, batteries were designated in a single alphabetical sequence in order of seniority from date of formation[19] and the battery took on its final designation as H Battery, Royal Horse Artillery.[1]
The brigade system was reintroduced on 1 March 1901, this time as tactical formations, and the battery was assigned to the VII Brigade-Division, RHA (redesignated as VI Brigade, RHA on 1 October 1906) along with K Battery.[21] In 1903, it was stationed at Meerut.[22]
It remained with the 1st Cavalry Division and served with it on the Western Front for the rest of the war.[27] In practice, the batteries were permanently assigned to the cavalry brigades from September 1914 onwards and the battery was attached to 2nd Cavalry Brigade.[25] It missed the earlier actions of 1914, but took part in the Race to the Sea, notably the Battle of Messines.[28]
At the Armistice, it was still serving with 2nd Cavalry Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division.[30]
Inter-war period
Still with the 1st Cavalry Division, it took part in the advance of the Second Army into Germany, crossing the border on 1 December and the Rhine by 13 December.[29] The battery transferred from Germany to II Brigade, RHA at Bordon in early 1919.[31]
Between December 1919 and March 1920, it moved to India with II Brigade and was stationed at Sialkot.[31] On 1 May 1924, the battery reverted to Royal Artillery status as H Battery, RA[1] in 8th Field Brigade, RA.[32] It was replaced in II Brigade by L Battery.[33]
In 1938, field artillery brigades were reorganized from three six-gun batteries to two 12-gun batteries. Rather than disband existing batteries, they were instead linked in pairs. As a result, on 11 May, H Battery rejoined II Brigade, RHA – from 8th Field Brigade, RA[32] – and simultaneously linked with I Battery as H/I Battery, RHA.[34][f] With effect from May 1938, brigades were redesignated as regiments and II Brigade became 2nd Regiment, RHA on 21 May.[36] By August 1939 the battery had been fully mechanized and equipped with 18/25 pounders.[37][g]
Second World War
At the outbreak of the Second World War, the battery was still linked with I Battery as H/I Battery in 2nd Regiment, RHA. It remained with the 2nd RHA throughout the war.[36]
Initially part of the 1st Armoured Division in the United Kingdom, in October 1939 it moved to France, where the regiment was placed under direct command of General Headquarters, BEF.[39] It was still serving with the BEF when the Battle of France broke out in May 1940.[40] After evacuation from the continent, it joined the 2nd Armoured Division and was transferred to Egypt with the division in November and December 1940.[41] From January to May 1941 it took part in the Battle of Greece with the 1st Armoured Brigade.[42]
The experience of the BEF in 1940 showed the limitations of having artillery regiments formed with two 12-gun batteries: field regiments were intended to support an infantry brigade of three battalions (or armoured brigade of three regiments). This could not be managed without severe disruption to the regiment. As a result, field regiments were reorganised into three 8-gun batteries.[43] Surprisingly, it was not until April 1942 that H/I was unlinked.[36] At this point the battery was armed with eight 25 pounders.[44]
H Battery joined 39th Regiment, RA on 1 May 1968 at Sennelager and was equipped with towed 8" M115 howitzers. From November 1972 it was equipped with self-propelled 8" M110 howitzers (M110A1 variants from 1979). It undertook four roulement tours to Northern Ireland (Operation Banner) in the infantry role (25 October 1973 – 27 February 1974, 4 December 1975 – 6 April 1976, 12 January – 11 May 1978, and 24 November 1980 – 11 April 1981). The battery was placed in suspended animation[h] in April 1982.[52]
Under Army 2020 plans, 7th RHA was reduced from five to three batteries; V Battery was placed in suspended animation[h] in May 2013[54] and H Battery was transferred to 1st RHA in August of the same year.[55]
^Other sources state that it was armed with five 6 pounder guns and a single 5½" howitzer.[4]
^The 1st Brigade Bengal Horse Artillery became 2nd Horse Brigade RA, the Madras Horse Artillery became 3rd Horse Brigade RA, the Bombay Horse Artillery became 4th Horse Brigade RA and the 2nd Brigade Bengal Horse Artillery became 5th Horse Brigade RA. The 3rd Brigade Bengal Horse Artillery was split between 2nd and 5th Horse Brigades RA.[11]
^During the action at Néry on 1 September, L Battery was almost destroyed as an operational unit: of five Officers, three were killed and two wounded; of 200 Other Ranks, 20 were killed and 29 wounded; and five of six 13 pounders were lost.[26] It had to be withdrawn to England to reform.[25]
