As stated it is the moto of the Royal Artillery.

Meaning....Everywhere, where right and glory leads us

Traditionally, the names battles or places where units have served gallantly are given as 'Battle Honors'. In 1883, artillery units of the Royal Artillery were given two distinct priveledges, the first being the installment of an official 'overall' motto, which has since been adopted by almost all units of the Royal Artillery, this being the motto:

"Quo Fas et Gloria Ducunt", the traditional translation of which is: "Whither Duty and Glory Lead" albeit now commonly translated as 'Where Duty And Glory Lead'

The second priveledge, and one that is unique in the Armed Services, is the installation of the Battle Honor: "UBIQUE" which translates literally as "EVERYWHERE" This symbolically linked the 'Gunners' as the enlisted artillerymen are known, with the Battle Honors of all major engagements they have fought in. It also supercedes all previously granted Battle Honors.

Added 6th Nov 2009,

Ubique is not unique to the RA the Corps of Royal Engineers is also entitled to its use. The "Sappers" likewise being engaged in all major and most minor conflicts for hundreds of years as bridge builders,defence builders etc and more lately as the main unit which deals with unexploded ordnance . They also ,in the modern British Army, supply tradesmen such as Plumbers ,electricians ,carpenters Etc;

The motto, Ubique Quo Fas et Gloria Ducunt is from the Royal Canadian Artillery. It stands for "Everywhere, whither right and glory lead." Actually it is kinda two motto's, the ubique being separate from the rest.by Alban
