Well, more hours looking, researching, reading............it's a love/hate hobby finding historical data.

I guess it 'could' be as someone else on Dan's Boards pointed out:

Recruiting Depot of the Field Artillery Regt 95 "BUT" was it a 'company' or a 'battery'?? I can't find any 'depot' info but I will say this, for artillery battery to be called "battery' they would have to have 'guns'. A recruiting/depot company would not have any 'guns'. (artillery pieces)

Not to distract from the OP's thread but a bit of trivia:

Why do the call the Artillery the "King of Battle" and the Infantry the "Queen of Battle"?
