The New South Wales Artillery was an artillery unit of the Colony of New South Wales which was raised on 1st August 1871. It consisted of one permanent battery (No 1 Battery; formed as the Sydney Volunteer Artillery in 1854) and nine volunteer batteries, numbered 1–10 in 1872. An eleventh volunteer battery was formed by 1873. During 1876, the No 2 Battery (today exists as A Battery) became a second permanent artillery battery, and in 1877 the No 3 Battery did likewise. No 5 Battery had been formed in 1855 as the Newcastle Volunteer Artillery. Initially formed as the Wollongong Volunteer Artillery, it became No 6 Battery in 1878, just as the Balmain Volunteer Artillery became the No 11 Battery in 1889. Colonel-in-command of the New South Wales Artillery from 1876 to 1892 was Charles Fyshe Roberts.
