one battery of artillery and two COM

was increased by second, in 1877 by a
third, and in 1890 by fourth (dcpot)
battery. 1t now consists of one field
battery, fully equipped with guns and
horses, and three garrison batteries.

The mounted rifles ceased to exist in

into two regiments. Toward the close
