The Hampshire Militia Artillery was a part-time reserve unit of Britain's Royal Artillery. Formed in 1853 from existing infantry militia units in Hampshire, its wartime role was to man the existing defences and new 'Palmerston Forts' guarding Portsmouth. It later merged with the equivalent unit on the Isle of Wight
