You'd be surprised. I've seen terrible impressions in Artillery units, both in drill (reenactor drill and the actual drill from the period are not the same thing) and in uniform, mostly due to an odd love of the color red, which is the Artillery branch-of-service color.

I spent a decade as a living history/interpretation ranger for NPS, and the stuff I saw after receiving NPS living history training at reenactments made me cringe.

Bottom line: unless there's historical documentationfor it, I wouldn't trust it just because of "the job they do".
