http://dbpedia.org/resource/Corps_of_Royal_Artillery_Drivers an entity of type: Thing
The Corps of Royal Artillery Drivers was a British Army corps founded (as the 'Corps of Captain Commissaries and Drivers') in 1793 and disbanded in 1822. It was established to provide trained and disciplined drivers for the Royal Artillery, a service that had previously relied upon civilian contractors. Though closely associated with the Royal Regiment of Artillery the corps was listed separately from it in the London Gazette until at least 1815. By 1814 the corps numbered more than 7,400 men and fielded more than 2,600 men at the 1815 Battle of Waterloo. The unit was reduced in size after the end of the Napoleonic Wars and disbanded in 1822 by the Duke of Wellington.
