Originally assault-specialist soldiers who threw hand grenades in siege operation battles, the role of Grenadiers changed in the 18th century to those of elite assault troops. Above average physical size had been considered important for the original grenadiers and, in principle, height and strength remained the basis of selection for these picked companies. In the British regiments of foot during the 18th century the preference was, however, to draw on steady veterans for appointment to individual vacancies in a grenadier company in order to maintain an elite and well-trained regiment.

Reviews
Good product. I like this very much, detailed torso and a good quality musket. Really cool thanks for doing this United Bricks. One thing I will say though is the colour of the bearskin makes it hard to tell front from back, and as it is custom made it is fragile so if the hat comes off too many times it will ware away and will become very lose, but this dose not effect my rating. Overall love the product, I’d recommend it.
It's a red coat with a hat
