Sunrise: Imperial War Museum, London, September 1, 2026.

Today, soldiers from L (Nery) Battery, 1st Regiment Royal Horse Artillery, gathered to honour the heroes who came before them at the Affair of Néry.

Standing in front of the famous Néry Gun - the 13-pounder that became a symbol of extraordinary courage on this day in 1914 - they remembered the men whose actions there earned three Victoria Crosses before breakfast.

Against overwhelming odds, the soldiers of L Battery fought on and on.

Their courage, resilience and determination became part of the Battery's history and its identity.

More than a century later, today's soldiers strive to live up to that remarkable legacy - setting the bar with the same resilience, professionalism and respect.
We remember their sacrifice.

We honour their courage. And we carry their story forward.

Getting paid to get fitter?

Sounds like a good deal to us.

One of the biggest concerns we hear is:

"I'm not fit enough."

The truth is, fitness isn't something you're expected to arrive with, it's something you build.

With fully equipped gyms at our Reserve Centres and PTIs on hand to coach you, you'll have everything you need to make progress, whatever your starting point.

This week, one of our PTIs is demonstrating the kettlebell squat, a simple exercise that builds strength, balance and confidence.

Give it a go, focus on good technique and let us know how you get on.

One person. Two professions. Endless opportunities.

By day, he's a Vehicle Mechanic.

On Reserve service, he's a Chef.

Different uniforms. Different responsibilities. The same commitment to being part of a team.

The Army Reserve doesn't ask you to choose between your civilian career and serving your country. It gives you the chance to do both.

Whether you already have a trade or you're looking to learn something completely new, Reserve service can help you build confidence, develop new skills and become part of a close team.
