APPENDIX II
THE TITLE "GRENADIERS"
Appendix II.
During 1915 the whole Regiment was much perturbed by the official use of the word "grenadier" as applied to men in all regiments who were being trained to throw bombs. This expression began to creep into official documents in April, and about this time a memorandum was published by General Headquarters on the training and employment of "grenadiers." In June the Army Council addressed a circular letter to officers commanding battalions, by which authority was given for the training of a detachment in each battalion, consisting of one officer, two sergeants, and 56 other ranks, as "grenadiers." Badges for "regimental and battalion grenadiers" were described in some additional paragraphs to the Dress Regulations, which were issued in Army Orders in October.
Eventually Colonel H. Streatfeild decided to take up the matter officially, and on November 29 sent the following letter to Major-General Lord Cavan, commanding the Guards Division:
"I respectfully beg to bring to your notice, and to strongly protest against, what I consider is an usurpation of the rights and privileges of the Regiment under my command, by the establishment of 'Grenadiers' to all battalions of the Army by Army Order of the 11th October 1915, and would venture to suggest that the name of 'Grenadiers' given to Regimental Bomb Throwers be altered to 'Bombers.'
"In the London Gazette of 29th July 1815 the First Regiment of Foot Guards had bestowed upon it the title of 'First or Grenadier Regiment of Foot Guards' in commemoration of their having defeated the Grenadiers of the French Imperial Guard at the Battle of Waterloo.
"This distinction the Regiment has proudly borne for the past 100 years, and it is a source of regret to all ranks that at this period, when there are four battalions of the Regiment upon Active Service, this title, which was granted exclusively to the Grenadier Guards as a reward for services in the Field, should in any way be invalidated."
On receipt of Colonel Streatfeild's protest, Lord Cavan wrote to General Headquarters:
