The Artillery

The foot artillery:

The foot artillery wore a red jacket and dark grey pants (before 1810 they had been dark blue). Collars, cuffs, facings, shoulderstraps and turnbacks were all dark blue. The artillerists wore a shako identical to the one worn by the infantry. Buttons were yellow. Boots and shoes were black while all other leather were white with brass attachments.

The horse artillery:

The horse artillery wore uniforms that were almost similar to the ones worn by the foot artillery. Only diffrence was that the horse artillery would wear dark grey breeches and black hussar boots.
