1 Regiment of Life-Guards of 4 squadrons, 4 Regiments of Hussars with altogether 26 squadrons, 2 Regiments of Dragoons with altogether 15 squadrons, 1 Corps of Light Horse of 2 squadrons. Total, 47 squadrons. [Sidenote: +Artillery.+] Artillery—3 Regiments of Field Artillery, of 5 divisions of 2 batteries each, the regiment consisting of 10 (2 “Driving,” 6 Horse-Artillery, and 2 “Foot”) batteries, besides the Reserve Artillery of 3 Foot and 6 Driving-batteries. Each battery has about 6 guns, which gives a total number of 234 field-guns. [Sidenote: +Engineers.+] Engineers—1 Pontoon battalion, including a Field-Telegraph Company, and 1 battalion of Sappers. Train—1 battalion of 2 companies. The Swedish Infantry drill is somewhat out of date. The quiet and leisurely way in which a battalion drills is something astonishing. The skirmishers have to keep exactly in line and are directed by a sergeant in the centre with uplifted rifle. Every time a man in the firing-line snaps his rifle, he shouts out “Piff-paff!” The introduction of a new magazine-rifle will, therefore, probably cause some fatigue to the throats of the Swedish Infantry. NORWAY. Although Norway is united under the same Crown with Sweden, still her military system differs entirely from that of the latter. [Sidenote: +Military System.+] Every able-bodied man of twenty-two years old is sent to the so-called “Land-armament,” to serve five years in the Line, four in the “Landwehr” and four in the “Landsturm.” The conscripts remain but very few weeks with the Colours. The main portion of the Army consists of men voluntarily enlisted, who are bound to stay for six years. [Sidenote: +Organisation.+] The Rifle Corps, of five companies, of which one forms a Guard-Company, consisting entirely of voluntarily-enlisted men, constitutes the only Corps under arms in time of peace; of the remaining troops there are only cadres in existence. In the event of war, the Line Infantry would consist of 5 brigades of 4 battalions each—total, 20 battalions. The Cavalry of 1 brigade of 3 Corps of Light Dragoons—total, 11 squadrons; the Artillery of 5 battalions = 11 batteries with 66 guns; the Engineers of a small division. Grand total, about 18,000 men. [Illustration: Officer (Standard-bearer) of the Life Guards (Andra Lifgardet).] The rifle of the Swedish and Norwegian Infantry is the Remington, which, however, will shortly be replaced by a magazine-rifle invented by Colonel Jarman of their Army. [Illustration: Light Cavalry. (Jemtlands hästjägarecorps.)] The Cavalry carries the Remington carbine in addition to the sabre. The Artillery is being re-armed with new guns, made partly in the Krupp works at Essen, and partly in the Swedish cast-steel works.
