Photo from the 1940s showing a group of military personnel and the square flag of the Artillery Club Baselland (Artillerie-Verein Baselland). The colours of the upper part must be red and white, corresponding to the cantonal colours. The lower part probably has golden lettering on red.

The purpose of the Artillery Clubs is to increase skill in using the weapons outside of regular military service. The first of those clubs in Switzerland have been founded in the first half of the 19th century. There are cantonal as well as local clubs. The Baselland section was founded in 1888, in the same year the national Association of Swiss Artillery Clubs (Centralverband Schweizerischer Artillerievereine) was founded (later Verband Schweizerischer Artillerievereine). In 1890 the first Artillery Day (Artillerietag) was organized, with shooting competitions and presentation of the weapons for the public. (source)
