Did the crews for Prussian Infantry Regiment battalion guns during the Seven Years War wear the same uniform as their parent regiment? I.e., did gun crews for the battalion guns in Fusilier Regiments wear the fusilier cap, or tricorne hats like artillerymen in regular artillery batteries? |

The trained gunners did, but the "muscle", seconded from the regiment and used to push the guns back, help limber and unlimber, carry ammo, etc, would have worn their regimentals. link
link PS depending on your basing and the number of gunners per model gun, it may be better the use all artillery figures. That way gun bases and crews won't be married up to particular regiments. |
