Regimental Artillery Uniforms

Alan,
thanks for your reply (Is that a gnashing of teeth that I hear, Chris?). Can you share your sources with us?

I chose to paint them in infantry uniform because Osprey gave me an each way bet. And as I recall, the cut of the gunner's jacket is the same as the infantry habite. The difference being in the colour of lapels, collar, and cuffs. Which to me seemed an extravagance to issue to 80 men in a regiment of over a thousand. And the usual vagaries of regulations applied to units in far-flung outposts...

Do your sources prvide any detail on distinctions? Particularly of head-dress.

Cheers,

Beresford
