information sort on the RAMR

[badgecollector]

hi all
interested to know what insignia did the RAMR (Royal Artillery Mounted Rifles) where?
to be honest I had never heard of this unit until a google search turned up some info but not on its insignia.

Formed during the Boer War in South Africa, originally from two howitzer brigades. Later, other batteries were also converted to the mounted infantry role. Commanded by a Lt Col, the brigades and batteries retained their own organisations and nomenclature. Each of the Corps, or Columns, as they were usually known, was self-contained, having its own pom-pom section, scouts and signallers.. A column would usually have a strength of 750 men, with 20 mule wagons for baggage. A supply column would also normally be attached to the column. All ranks were armed with rifles and bayonets, a total of 350 rounds per man was carried in the following allotment: 150 rounds per man in a bandolier, two boxes per section on a pack horse with a further 14 boxes per company carried in a scotch cart. Interestingly, whilst the howitzers and equipment of the batteries was returned to Ordnance Stores, the columns retained their range-finding instruments The three A&S wagons RA and the water cart which formed part of the battery equipment were also retained.. Also known as the Royal Artillery Mounted Rifles, they were immortalised by Rudyard Kipling in his poem "Ubique", in which one line reads "Ubique means the R.A.M.R. Infantillery Corps!"
