British Empire Title



In Canada


This watercolour by Sir James Archibald Hope was published in the Journal of the Society for Army Historical Research Vol XXIII no. 95 in 1945. It shows a corporal and a sergeant of the Grenadier Guards in autumn kit. They wear the red coatee normally worn in full dress and a medal can be seen on the sergeant's chest. Their forage caps are covered with a fur protector and the corporal has makeshift puttees. The wagon in the middle appears to be carrying ammunition.
