Artillery was contained within the Singapore Rifle Corps in 1854. The corps was disbanded in 1887 to facilitate the formation of the Singapore Volunteer Artillery (SVA) on 22 Feb 1888. Its motto, ‘In Oriente Primus’ which means ‘First in the East’ is still in use today and can be found on the crest of the Singapore Artillery HQ. At the time, enlistment in the SVA was restricted to Europeans. It was disbanded and demobilised upon the return of the British in 1945. |
