Improvements
This article could be improved by including in-line citations to aid in the verification process and by expanding the article to discuss the unit's current structure. Just a couple of ideas. Once this has been done, you might like to seek reassessment. This can be done by going to WP:MHA. Additional comments for improvement can be obtained by going to WP:MHPR and adding the article's name to the list. Hope this helps. AustralianRupert (talk) 06:02, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Terrible English in history section with no source provided
"Equipped with Chestnut horses from the start, Lord Wellington asked of the whereabouts of “The Chestnut Troop” during the Battle of Waterloo. This unofficial title stuck until Edward VII sanctioned, in Army Order 135, that the Battery be designated A Battery (The Chestnut Troop) Royal Horse Artillery. This honour title is unique as it is not associated with one particular incident, and affords "The Chestnut Troop" the privilege to be known as such outside the Royal Regiment of Artillery.  As the senior Battery within the whole of the Royal Regiment of Artillery, it takes position at the Right of the Line on the parade.

A Troop was raised as the first fully self-contained and fully mounted unit equipped with six, six-pounder guns."

Can anynone understand this?
