Welcome

Welcome to the Devonport Field Gun Association website. The site is designed to provide a focal point for members of the association. The latest association news and events are posted here. New members are always welcome to join the association. Existing Association Members can login to the members area of the website here.

The Devonport Field Gun Crew can trace it’s history back to the first inter command field gun competition at the Royal Naval & Military Tournament staged at Olympia in May 1907. Crews from the Devonport Command competed in the annual competition at the Royal Tournament until the ‘Last Run’ in 1999.

The Devonport Field Gun Association has long been established as a means of keeping ex-field gunners in contact with each other and this role has become increasingly important since the last Devonport Field Gun Crew disbanded after the 1999 Royal Tournament.

A message from the Association Secretary

'If any of our members know the Field Gunners named below, would they kindly contact them and ask them to let the secretary know their new address and telephone numbers. 

They are all fully paid up members but are not receiving any feed back as their mail has been returned to me marked 'Not known at this address'.  They are as follows:

Mr T M McCormac
Mr D O'Connor (not Des who arranges the Golf during the Reunion weekend)
Mr K O'Rourke
Mr K E Tanner
Mr S J Turvey
Mr S A Yates ( everyone calls him Eddy)
Mr D McIntosh

Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated.
