An unusual tunic purported to have been worn by a corporal trumpeter of the New South Wales Artillery. The embroidered number '1' on the shoulder strap may indicate the Number 1 company of the 1st Garrison Division of the New South Wales Artillery formed in in 1893, although the five buttoned tunic was usually worn by the field artillery rather than the garrison. These were permanent units and there was also a band. The garrison artillery were responsible for fixed defences. Two other artillery tunics of the same period with orange, rather than scarlet, collars are also in the Memorial's collection.
