The two Companies of Grenadiers were clothed like the Musqueteers (coats of real (? red) broadcloth, lined and faced with blue, breeches of blue broadcloth and stockings of blue worsted) but distinguished by caps of red cloth lined with blue shaloon, and barred with silver galoon round the edges. On the frontlets of these caps, which were very large and high, the King's Cypher and Crown were embroidered. Each Grenadier was armed with a long carbine, the barrel of which was 3 feet 2 inches in length, with a cartouche box, bayonet, grenade-pouch and hammer-hatchet.
