RHA Driver c 1980 Ref: 388

Civilian wagons and horses were still being hired to move the guns and it was only in 1794 that the ‘Corps of Captains Commissaries and Drivers’ was formed to provide drivers and teams for the field guns. (The RHA formed in 1793 already had its own horses and teams for each troop). In 1801 this Corps was replaced by a similar organisation called the Corps of Gunner Drivers. This was also unsatisfactory, and in 1806 its title was changed to the Royal Artillery Drivers. Finally in 1822 this Corps (already greatly reduced in establishment since 1815) was disbanded and recruits were enlisted as ‘Gunner and Driver’. This continued until after 1918 when enlistments were made as Gunner only. See also: RHA Trumpeter and RHA Troop Horse
