In 1971 A Field Battery was on active service in South Vietnam when the Queen’s Banner was presented to the Regiment; the Banner was presented as both a replacement for the King’s Banner (presented to A Battery, New South Wales Regiment RAA for services in the South African War) and in recognition of the Regiment’s Centenary. The wording on the Banner’s plaque is: PRESENTED BY HER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II, CAPTAIN-GENERAL OF THE ROYAL REGIMENT OF AUSTRALIAN ARTILLERY, TO REPLACE THE BANNER PRESENTED BY HIS MAJESTY KING EDWARD VII AND IN HONOUR OF THE CENTENARY OF THE REGIMENT 1971.  

The Banner was presented to the Regiment by the then Governor-General, His Excellency Sir Paul Hasluck, on behalf of Her Majesty, at Sydney’s Victoria Barracks on the 1st August 1971, the same time that the King’s Banner was last paraded.
  
The Banner, which is housed in the dinning room of the Regimental Officers’ Mess, is officially named The Banner of Queen Elizabeth II; however, it is commonly referred to under many names: The Queen’s Banner of the Royal Regiment of Australian Artillery, The Royal Regiment of Australian Artillery Banner, and The Queen’s Banner. The Banner is accorded all the honours and dignity of Colours when it is displayed in public on ceremonial parades, taking second place only to the Regiment’s Colours - the guns.
