ROYAL TROPHY GUNS AT WINDSOR.

Windsor

Rides, &c., 
in Windsor 
Forest, 1786. 
Thus, the 
7 4-prs. of Prestonpans, re-captured at Carlisle. 
8 4-prs. of Falkirk, re-captured at Culloden. 
16 4-prs. at Culloden, of the ex-Flanders companies R.A. 
account for 31 4-prs. 
From these deduct eight 4-prs. which remained in Scotland, as the 
original train, after return to England of the Royal army. 1 2 
Thus, twenty-three 4-prs., bronze guns, were available to be left at 
Windsor by H.R.H. the Duke of Cumberland on suppression of the 
rebellion. 
The Board of Ordnance records and R.A. muster-rolls and pay lists 
also show that in 1740 a train of artillery was sent to Windsor from 
Woolwich, in June, under Lieutenants Flight and Desaguliers, to form 
an artillery park; but the guns were 6-prs.. and 3-prs, and the train 
returned to Woolwich in November 1740. 
In 1746-7 the Board of Ordnance issued 2000 musquets with 
bayonets, swords, pistols, &c., to replace like numbers broken and lost 
at Culloden ; but no guns lost by Royal Artillery in that battle. 
Also, in 1786, five regiments of infantry, namely, 23rd, 29th, 33rd, 
38th and 43rd, had each a wing encamped in the forest of Windsor, 
and were supplied during six years from the Ordnance stores in the 
Tower of London with entrenching tools, &c.: during this period these 
working parties were " employed in completing the ridings, &c.,” but 
guns were not sent during this period. 
6-Pounders. 
With regard to 6-prs. of post 1794 manufacture (stated in 53 | 
Windsor | 261 to have been removed to Windsor about 1818), these 
may have been of Peninsular celebrity; but they could not have 
been at Waterloo, as no (R.A.) field guns under 9-prs. were engaged 
at Waterloo, except the 6-prs. of Capt. Joseph Brome’s troop, R.H.A., 3 
which were employed at the close of the battle and in harassing the 
retreat of the French. The most careful search of the Board of 
Ordnance records has failed to discover any memo, of 6-prs. at 
Windsor.” 
1 One of these handsome 4-pr. bronze guns is in the Museum of Artillery at Woolwich—cast by 
Bowen, 1742 ; but the catalogue, No. 28, does not give its original history, and would appear to be 
slightly inaccurate in regard to length, calibre, and weight.
