On another forum a member bought a trunk containing the uniform and badges of an Officer in the RA. One of these badges is pictured here and I would like to know its correct identity and should it have the ribbon bar shown and if so what does it signify, thanks, John

Something to do with the 5th Field Battery perhaps?

Thank you all for your help in identifying the RA badge. Mark, the badge is not mine therefor your request to own it cannot be fulfilled, sorry for that because you allways come up with the information I need in regards to RA badges, thanks, John.
