Looking for a color image of a Russian Cossack horse artillery gunner for the Eylau-Friedland campaign. Can anyone help? I have an image for them for 1812-14. Not sure if it applies for the earlier period. |

Not sure about Eylau-Friendland but my library says that Cossack horse artillery was established formally in 1798-9 or so; the image I have is a chap in a short blue jacket and blue trousers, red strip down the trousers and red time on the jacket collars and cuff; black busby with red bag and white cords Hope this helps! |

Yes, that helps. I went with the pic I found which corresponds with what you are saying. In other words it doesn't sound like the 1812-14 "uniform" was that much different at all (if any) from the earlier period. Thanks for your response. |

link Horse artillery companies has the same uniforms like usual cossak horse companies. Донская конная артиллерия.
До 1816 г. конные артиллерийские роты носили обмундирование такое же, как в конных полках. Вооружение – сабля и пара пистолетов. Before 1812 cossaks has old breed with the high collar mown in front. That's all differents. Конные полки.
Казаки – кафтан (чекмень) из тёмно-синего сукна, застёгивавшийся на груди на крючки. Носился с 1 сентября по 1 мая. Воротник низкий и прямой (часть казаков могли донашивать обмундирование старого покроя с высоким воротником, скошенным спереди) с красной выпушкой по внешнему краю, погоны и прямые обшлага, тёмно-синие с красной выпушкой. |
