Summary

[edit]
Description
Nederlands: Het Korps Rijdende Artillerie kreeg de standaard uitgereikt op 24 september 2002.

De opschriften zijn:

Quatre-Bras 1815; Waterloo 1815; Hasselt 1831; Kermpt 1831; Leuven 1831. De rijdende artillerie was van oorsprong een snel verplaatsbare eenheid, bewapend met licht geschut. Ze ondersteunde de cavalerie. Op 21 februari 1793 werden er bij het Staatse leger twee brigades rijdende artillerie opgericht. Hieruit kwam later het Korps Rijdende Artillerie (KRA) voort, dat kort na de Tweede Wereldoorlog ter ziele ging. In 1963 werd 11 Afdeling Rijdende Artillerie (eerder: 11 Afdeling Veldartillerie) aangewezen om de traditie van de KRA voort te zetten. In 1973 kwam ook het korps zelf weer tot leven.

De militairen van de KRA staan bekend als de Gele Rijders. Deze erenaam danken ze aan de tressen op het uniform dat koning Willem II in 1842 invoerde. De KRA draagt dit tegenwoordig nog als ceremonieel tenue.

Literatuur: B. Schoenmaker en J.P.C.M. van Hoof, 200 jaar Rijdende Artillerie, 1793-1993 (Den Haag 1993).
