HAC
The word "artillery" in "Honourable Artillery Company" does not have the current meaning that is generally associated with it, but dates from a time when in the English language that word meant any projectile, including for example arrows shot from a bow. The equivalent form of words in modern English would be either "Honourable Infantry Company" or "Honourable Military Company". It is a separate and older regiment than the Royal Regiment of Artillery and not part thereof. It has its own distinct uniform and colours. Note for example that up to 1973 it provided Infantry Battalions. Tragino (talk) 14:31, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Look at any copy of the London Gazette for starters you'll see RA and HAC promotions listed separately. Then go on to the list of precedence of Army Regiments and Corps, then Army Dress Regulations and finally Queens Regulations for the Army Para 8000.1. Tragino (talk) 11:54, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
