I think this should answer any questions about Lanyard wear.... Most of the Canadian Military has abandoned the Lanyard in their every day Duty Wear. It's mostly reserved for dress occasions. But here's a website with pictures and brief descriptions....

When did the royal artillery use a lanyard?
I assume you mean a lanyard to fire cannon/ artillery pieces. To the best of my knowledge, firing lanyards came about after Napoleonic-style touchole cannons were replaced by more modern breach loading cannons. Lanyards remain in use to this day. The Royal Navy adopted lanyard systems much faster (as early as the Napoleonic Wars flintlock lanyard firing mechanisms were in use) the primary reason for this being lanyard systems presented less of a risk that the open flame needed for a touchole.

Why do the Royal Engineers wear the lanyard on the right?
I suspect the same reason the Artillery do, the lanyard moved to the right shoulder when bandoliers were in use and worn over the left shoulder, of course at that time the RE would be wearing a plain"working" lanyard to secure a clasp knife or similar, they didn't have a "dress* lanyard at that point afaik. As to the old RE story (fantasy?) of being "awarded" the blue lanyard after taking over guns, that has long been disproven, not least as the RE blue lanyard was adopted in 1951 "to brighten up the battledress", and of course the RA didn't wear a blue lanyard in the first place... :-D
What is the history of the black lanyard that royal engineers wear?
Lanyard - The Royal Engineers lanyard is navy blue and worn on the right shoulder. Since 19th century plain lanyards were used for securing the jackknife which was issued to all mounted troops. It was intended to be worn around the waist but soldiers soon found it to be more convenient to wear it on the shoulder with the knife in the breast pocket. The Royal Engineers, as did other corps and regiments of the British Army, introduced the lanyard to brighten up their battledress uniform in 1951.
