While You Are Waiting
Since some lazy sod has been watching movies and eating instead of typing, the battle report is not quite finished. Should be available for the Sunday papers.
In the meantime please enjoy this short article on the Royal Grenadiers:
The Royal Grenadiers began life as a Toronto volunteer militia unit. In 1881 they were designated as the 10th Royal Grenadiers and in 1885 they contributed a detachment to the NorthWest Field force. In time they were amalgamated with other Toronto units to form the Royal Regiment of Canada. (Not to be confused with the Royal Canadian Regiment which is a reg force regiment.)
They are one of 4 Canadian units, (1 regular, 3 primary reserve) authorized to wear bearskins. The Royal Grenadiers (as they were) wear a white over red plume and the standard infantry pointed cuff. The Vandoos or Royal 22ieme, a regular regiment, (3 wear a similar tunic but with red plumes on their bearskins.
The Grenadier Guards (the oldest regiment) wear white plumes and the old slashed cuffs as do the Governor General Foot Guards (the senior regiment as opposed to oldest) who wear red plumes.
As one would expect very similar regiments may be found in the Faraway Royal Army. Sumber https://gameofmonth.blogspot.com/
