History
Originally raised on 1 August 1779 as Cuppage’s Company of the 1st Battalion, Royal Artillery, this historic sub-unit is one of the oldest active batteries in the British Army.
It earned its famous title, “The Blazers,” during early 19th-century operations, later serving with distinction across the British Empire, including deployments in the West Indies, India, Hong Kong, Aden, and Malaya. During the Second World War, the battery fought as part of the 5th Indian Division, participating in the East Africa campaign and the critical Battle of Keren in 1941.
In December 1984, following a brief period of disbandment, the battery was reformed at Larkhill as part of the reconstructed 14th Regiment Royal Artillery. Today, the battery serves as the Headquarters and Initial Trade Training (ITT) delivery sub-unit for 14th Regiment RA, overseeing the training, administration, and support structures for all new personnel entering the Royal School of Artillery.

We also offer monochrome embroidery (black looks exceptional for a subdued, tactical finish).
