The Kingdom of Wittenberg: Wittenberg Artillery

Saturday, 3 January 2009

The artillery have just received their new standard (I used the Saxony SYW artillery standard). I also thought they needed a drummer too.

Bluebear Jeff said...: As far as I know, artillery standards were not used in the field . . . almost certainly not for individual batteries.

I have however seen artillery standards in various publications. They might have been used in camp . . . or simply kept back home.
