Grenadier Guards


 

The Grenadier Guards is the most senior regiment of the Guards Division of the British Army, and, as such, is the most senior regiment of infantry. It is not though the most senior regiment of the Army, which is the Life Guards. The Coldstream Guards were organized before the Grenadier Guards, but are the next-junior regiment.

The grouping of buttons on the tunic is a common way to distinguish between the regiments of Foot Guards. Grenadier Guards' buttons are equally spaced and plain (they are not marked with a regimental number). Modern Grenadier Guards carry the 'flaming bomb' badge, or capade.
