WAs the BSM, dissemination of information is always important. I hope that all gunners both old, new and soldiers from other corps will be able to use the website to find relevant and interesting information about the Battery. For gunners of other units or in training, 'A' Field Battery is without doubt the most prestigious Sub-Unit of the RAA and is also the oldest unit in the Australian Army. We are always looking for more enthusiastic and motivated soldiers.
