Description
Shoulder belt and pouch of the Royal Artillery. The belt is of blue morroco leather overlaid with Artillery pattern gold lace and is attached to the pouch by three brass rings and a stud fastening. The right of the belt has a gilded ornamented buckle and slide showing a grenade encircled with a wreath. The pouch is made of leather and has two collapsing pockets. It is secured by a loop with brass stud. The flap is covered with dark blue cloth edged with gold lace. The design, made of gold bullion, is of the Royal coat of arms surmounted with a lion and Queen's Crown between a wreath of oak and laurel. The word 'UBIQUE' is stitched below the arms in a scarlet velvet scroll. At the bottom of the pouch is another scarlet scroll with the words 'QUO FAS ET GLORIA DUCUNT'. Between these two scrolls is an empty space in which a small gilded gun would have been placed.
