Background
Grenadiers were specialized units in the British and Continental armies during the American Revolutionary War. They were roughly comparable to the Italian Brutes and Byzantine Almogavars, being slower but tougher than other soldiers, and primarily wielded heavy weapons. Grenadiers were recognizable by their narrow, tall mitre-shaped headgear, which was designed not to obstruct vision or fall off while throwing grenades.
