33rd Foot

Oh hush. You can keep it, then. I'll stick with Les Petit Grenadiers for my part. *smug*

Hmph.

(We've got a really cool Regimental Colour, though... Better than an Eagle that's just the same as any other Eagle.)

*clears throat and recites* 'In the 18th and 19th century Grenadiers were amongst the tallest and bravest men in a battalion. At the capture of Belle Isle in 1761, the headdress of the Marines was very similar but smaller than that worn by Grenadiers. Although of normal stature, their fighting ability and behaviour in battle were exemplary, resulting in the French referring to them as "Les Petits Grenadiers". '

=/=

Having said all that, I don't know that I would mind all that much being part of Cornwallis' "Pattern" regiment. Even if they are almost exclusively a land-going unit. :p
