The Veteran Corps of Artillery is a patriotic organization established as an independent artillery unit in 1790 at New York by veterans of the Revolutionary War.[1] In 1848,[2] it consolidated with the Military Society of the War of 1812 (formed in 1826 by American veterans of the War of 1812).[3]
The Veteran Corps of Artillery was mustered into federal service for three months in September 1814 and attached to the 3d New York Artillery Regiment. During World War I, the corps offered its services as a home guard to the governor of New York.[4] Although no longer part of the organized militia of the United States, the corps is recognized by the State of New York as a ceremonial unit for the purposes of rendering military honors at patriotic, national, state, and municipal observances.[3]
