A second series of talks by Jocelyn Bradford on London's military splendours and pageantry
3-The King's Troop,
Royal Horse Artillery
Today Jocelyn Bradford tells the romantic story of how The King's Troop acquired their honoured name; something of the duties they carry out, as the only unit of the Gunners left to wear full-dress uniform; and a surprising little-known item of Anglo-American history.
