The Honourable Artillery Company was incorporated by Royal Charter in 1537 by King Henry VIII. Regiments of the Company have fought with distinction in both World Wars and its current Regiment, which forms part of the Territorial Army, has a demanding and exciting role. The HAC Regiment, which is part of the Allied Command Europe Rapid Reaction Corps, has had some 85 of its officers and soldiers mobilised for operations in Iraq over the last 2 years.
The Company is a Registered Charity whose purpose is to attend to the 'better defence of the realm' and this purpose is primarily achieved by the support of the HAC Regiment. Members of the Regiment are drawn, for the most part, from young professional men and women working in and around the City and Greater London. Those leaving the Regiment may become Veteran Members and remain within the fraternity of the Company, which they then serve in a variety of ways.
