UNION ARMY

Artillery

Artillery was divided into Field and Heavy artillery. The latter wore the frock coat and the former a variant of the cavalry short jacket laced in red. In practice both arms adopted the sack coat as more practical, although the shell jacket remained popular with the light artillery Trousers were sky blue.

Forage caps were worn with the crossed cannon badge of the arm of service.

Officers were clothed and equipped as their counterparts in the infantry and the cavalry.

Gun carriages and limbers were an olive drab colour.
