Artillery

Foot gunner: like the infantryman, he wore a Prussian blue coat with red turnbacks, yellow buttons, black facings, black leather cross belts and cartridge boxes. Collars were black piped poppy-red along the front and lower edge until 1815. Gray breeches were worn on campaign and white for parade.  Foot gunners carried standard infantry backpacks and bread bags, and their grenade badge was on their cartridge box  (the Guard had a brass Guard Star).  Between 1808-1815 foot gunners carried the artillery sword as  horse gunners, and different colored sword knots designated their respective batteries. Swords were supposed to be a temporary measure, but the customary infantry sidearms were in short supply, so most Prussian artillery carried swords until after Waterloo. Foot gunners were issued infantry muskets but did not take take them on campaign. NCOs carried carbines (but not on campaign).

Horse gunner:  other than cavalry overalls and hussar boots, the horse gunner wore the same uniform as the foot gunner. From 1809, Prussian horse gunners could choose to wear the longer ‘Litevka’ coat. Horse leather equipment was black. In April 1815, because of a shortage of uniforms, half of the gunners of the Prussian 13th Horse Battery were given British Royal Horse Artillery uniforms. When they appeared on parade a few months  few months after Waterloo, the Prussian king was infuriated and order them to remove their British uniforms.

Train driver: wore dark blue coats with light blue cuffs and collars, red shoulder straps and white buttons.
