from the Swiss Military Museum : "Translation: Remember of the day of the Battery , year 1934. Field Artillery Battery 33, Swiss Army. Canon and grenade is the sign of Artillery. Swiss Cross for Switzerland. The Field Artillery in this time was equiped with horse powered 7,5cm field guns Mod 1903/22 Krupp. The Battery was the company of the artillery with 12 field guns and 3 platoons. The „Baterietagung“ was the reunion of active soldiers and veterans of the unit. Best regards, Thomas"
