The Wendes Artillery Regiment[3] (Swedish: Wendes artilleriregemente), designation A 3, was a Swedish Armyartilleryregiment that traced its origins back to the 17th century. The regiment's soldiers were originally recruited from Scania, where it was garrisoned. The unit was disbanded as a result of the disarmament policies set forward in the Defence Act of 2000.
The regiment has its origins in the Artillery Regiment raised in 1636. That regiment was split into four new regiments in 1794 of which Wendes Artillery Regiment was one. The regiment was given the designation A 3 (3rd Artillery Regiment) in 1830. In 1893 two companies were split off to form 2nd Svea Artillery Regiment and 2nd Göta Artillery Regiment. The regiment was garrisoned in Kristianstad but moved to Norra Åsum in 1953 and to Hässleholm in 1994 before being disbanded in 2000.
The standard of Wendes Artillery Regiment was embroidered by hand by mademoiselle Anette Bergner and presented as an honorary standard to the former mounted division of the Royal Wendes Artillery Regiment (A 3) in 1815. It was used as regimental standard by A 3 until 1 July 2000.[4] Blazon: "On white cloth a winged cluster of flashes clasped by a hand under a royal crown proper, wings brown, crown and flash-cluster in yellow. In each corner a slanted open yellow crown. Yellow battle honours (Großbeeren 1813, Leipzig 1813, Dennewitz 1813) on the three lower sides of the standard. Fringe in white and yellow." Today it is presented as the second standard of the Artillery Regiment.[4]
