Caption: Sergeant, Royal Regiment of Artillery, 1806-1812

This Sergeant (along with the corporal and gunners shown in the background) wear the uniform of the Royal Regiment of Artillery as authorized between 1806 and 1812. New uniform regulations would be issued in 1812, replacing the pattern of shako these men wear, but many spent the first years of the War of 1812 wearing the uniform shown.
