Balaclava by Lady Elizabeth Butler. 		This image, based on the Clothing Warrant of 1768 and on actual items of clothing still in existence, shows a typical grenadier of this period. The most striking change in dress is the replacement of the grenadiers mitre by a fur cap. The grenadier cap began originally as a fur-trimmed cap, and the fur trimming was replaced by the stiff front, which we have seen in several prints, but in the 1768 warrant the fur cap was brought back. In fact it must have made its return before that date. Indeed, some regiments had never worn the mitre. The grenadiers of the Black Watch, for instance, always wore a fur cap closely resembling the one shown here. It was this fur cap that gradually developed into the bearskin that is worn by the Foot Guards today. It is often said that the bearskin cap was introduced into the army by the Prince Regent in imitation of the bearskin caps of Napoleons Guard. This is not so. The fur cap had its own respectable ancestry on this side of the Channel, as we can see from this image, but it was, of course, worn by grenadiers in many other armies at that time. Another notable feature of the uniform here is the arrangement of buttons in pairs. The arrangement was adopted by many regiments when the 1768 warrant was introduced, but all gave it up in 1857 when the tunic replaced the coatee, except the Coldstream Guards, who retain it to this day. The white spatterdashes in the army had been generally changed for black, in fact the Clothing Warrant specified black. However, the Foot Guards retained their white ones and used them until some date after 1821for ceremonial dress, long after both white and black spatterdashes had vanished from the rest of the army. With the war in America at this time and the formation of light companies, the use of grenadier companies as such ceased, and the Grenadiers became more ornamental than anything else. Their fur caps were rarely worn on service, and were kept for ceremonial occasions. It will be seen that this grenadier has his hair tied up in a plait at the back and not in a queue. This was generally a distinction of the grenadiers.
