===Service in India===
The first company of the Royal Artillery to serve in India sailed in November 1747. During the 1800s the service in the East Indies was mainly in [[Ceylon]], until the [[Indian Mutiny]] in 1857. In 1859, the companies of the Royal Artillery in India were formed into the 11th, 13th and 14th Brigades.<ref>[http://www.archive.org/stream/englandsartille01browgoog#page/n93/mode/1up "The Royal Artillery in the East Indies"] provides more details</ref>
