Grenadier Caps
Probably a silly question, I have nearly completed my first unit, just the bases to go. For each Bn. I am doing a stand of Lights and a stand of Grenadiers. On the crown of the Grenadier cap there is a patch with a grenade on it. The patch appears to have been red but what colour was the grenade?
White.
Musicians of all companies had the regimental number instead and sometimes the grenadiers did too (mostly Roman numerals, rather than Arabic, but not exclusively).
Thanks for that, Ronan. It is just the sort of detail that drives you mad trying to run down.
