However, the Artillery all belong to the same regiment (Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery or Royal Regiment of Canadian Horse Artillery for the regular force mud gunners) so precedence between various gunner units is a moot point. Same for the engineers, I believe.

RHCA has precence besae they are a horse unit, nit because thay are Reg F.

Precedance in the Arty (RCA) is from the date the unit was formed. I think the oldest is 3 Field RCA in New Brunswick.

Right-of-Line of the Regiment. RCR's Canada's Senior Infantry Regiment. Order of Precedence within Infantry: ONE. Formed 21 December 2020 when the Infantry School was authorized. FYI below...for whomever gives a rats *** !

"Units of a regiment take senority according to the date of origin of the oldest unit of the regiment, e.g. Militia regiments having two or more battalions take precedence with the date of origin of the oldest battalion of the regiment of the Militia.
Units or Guards take precedence over other units in the infantry, regardless of the date of origin. Regular Force units take precedence over Reserve units.
The dates of organization assigned to regiments are those established by General Orders or parallel authority. Senority is based upon the date of origin as a regiment or battalion, not as local or independent companies of Militia, unless some other senority has been specifically authorized" p. 232.
