Royal artillery

Have just found a relatives ribbon bar which includes the silver rose on the 14 Star, denoting that they were one of the first soldiers in. We do not know which relative it may be but included with this was a Royal Artillery tie pin. If anyone, and I am sure you can, knows anything to help it would be great. Thanks
