October 4, 2021 – Ottawa – National Defence / Canadian Armed Forces
Members of The Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery United Kingdom Public Duties Contingent (RCA UK PDC) began their month-long Public Duties in London and Windsor with Changing of the Guard ceremonies held at Buckingham Palace and St. James’s Palace on October 4, 2021.
From October 4 to 22, the 90 soldiers of the RCA UK PDC will comprise the Queen’s Guard at the four Royal residences in the London District – Buckingham Palace, St. James’s Palace, Windsor Castle and the Tower of London. For the mount and dismount ceremonies, which will occur several times throughout the month-long tasking, the Queen’s Guard will be accompanied by the 36-person Royal Canadian Artillery Band, based in Edmonton.
The Queen’s Guard are soldiers and officers charged in support of the civil authorities with guarding the Sovereign and the official royal residences in the UK.
The RCA UK PDC was invited by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II to form the Queen’s Guard to honour and commemorate the 150th anniversary of the formation of The Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery (RCA) A and B Batteries. The founding of A Battery (in Kingston, Ont.) and B Battery (in Quebec City) of 1 RCHA in 1871 led the way for Canada’s professional Army. It allowed Canada to bear responsibility for its defence and laid the groundwork for political autonomy.
This opportunity to conduct Public Duties perpetuates the tradition of Commonwealth soldiers working closely with the British Armed Forces while demonstrating the professional capabilities of The Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery and the Canadian Armed Forces in an international setting.
