Ubique

The Malaysian Artillery Regiments draw our roots from the Royal Artillery (RA). We started with our gunners serving inthe Search Light battery in Pulau Blakang Mati off Singapore. The RA will celebrate their 300 years centenary in 2016. Ubique. Everyware. Unique was best translated into Bahasa Malaysia by our Lt Colonel Waris as “Everywhere On On”. This slogan was proudly painted on the wall of 6 Arty located in Lok Kawi Camp, Sabah.

Below is the notification from the RA Assiociation to celebrate the auspicious occasion, worldwide.

          On the 26th May 2016 the Royal Regiment will celebrate its 300th Anniversary. As part of the celebration of this significant milestone, we will conduct a west to east circumnavigation of the globe, commencing at our birth place in Woolwich in mid 2015, and finishing at our Regimental home in Larkhill.

A baton, designed to represent our 300 years, will be carried around the globe, before being presented to our Captain General when she reviews the Regiment at Larkhill on the date of our Foundation.

The circumnavigation will provide an exciting and unrivalled opportunity for all corners of the Regimental family: Regular, Reserve, Veterans (through the RAA) and RA capbadged UOTC, CCF and ACF units, to play their part in an incredible journey. We will also seek the support and engagement of Commonwealth Artillery nations and our close Allies, alongside Industry Partners.

I urge you all to get involved, think imaginatively, seize the opportunity to lead and participate in an adventure to a far flung corner of our planet, and play your part in living up to the motto given to us by King William IV – Ubique.

Arty Directorate hopefully will take notice of the event and perhaps participate in whichever way we can.

Cheers
