This web site is dedicated to all past members of the
Royal Artillery Recruiting / Display Troop
As a past member of the RA Recruiting Troop, serving from January 1971 until
October 1974, and also from 1983 until 2003 as the Secretary of the
RA Recruiting Troop Reunion, it was felt that it was about time that we
had our own presence on the world wide web.
Since our first Reunion which was held at Woolwich in January 1984,
we have grown to over 230 members, and with many now having access to
the Internet. Since that time we have had some fantastic Reunions in various
locations, for example: Woolwich, Hull, Southend on Sea and Derby.
We also held a Mini-Reunion in Pembroke in October 1997.
Any ex members of the Troop, or indeed anyone who is just passing through can
contribute by sending me their memories, stories and pictures of their times with
the Displays or the MCDT, and I will update the site.
so if you are on the Internet please let me have your updated
E-mail address and contact information.

Our Mission
My aim is to bring together past members of the RA Recruiting / Display Troop
and to give them the oppourtunity to keep in touch and to attend Reunions.
Many old friends lose contact when leaving the Army, and if we can help them to
make contact with each other again, then we have achieved our mission.
We will also try to keep close links with other like minded Associations and Web sites.

Webmaster:
This is an unofficial military website.
This site serves as a Reunion and Information site for my old Troop. It enables ex members of the Troop to renew links and keep in touch.
It's my site with my views and opinions and doesn't reflect Army policy or doctrine. The photo's are mine or have been sent by friends.
The comraderie, spirit de corps, and pride is what commanders from since the dawn of time have tried to
instill and desired from their troops.
If anyone would like to use any images on this web site, please e-mail me.
