  This year marks the 150th anniversary of the establishment of “A” and “B” Batteries – the first full-time or regular elements of the post-Confederation Canadian army. 
  In 1871, most British troops in Canada were withdrawn. In response, Militia General Order No. 24, dated October 20 of that year, authorized the formation of “A” and “B” Batteries as garrison artillery and schools of gunnery in Kingston and Quebec City. They were commanded by officers seconded from the British Army and manned by gunners attached from Active Militia batteries around a nucleus of instructors formerly of the Royal Artillery. Their formation marked a watershed in Canadian military history. Henceforth, Canada would bear responsibility for its defence commensurate with its new political autonomy. 
  “A” and “B” Batteries exist to this day as sub-units of 1st Regiment, Royal Canadian Horse Artillery. The Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery, of which they form part, comprises 25 units represented in 33 communities from Victoria to Yarmouth and continues to serve proudly at home and abroad
