The 5th Regiment of Foot, later known as the Northumberland Fusiliers, was one of the most distinguished infantry regiments of the British Army. Serving across Europe and the Americas, its grenadier companies represented the elite of the regiment—tall, disciplined soldiers tasked with shock assaults, guarding flanks, and providing a fearsome presence on the battlefield.

About the Unit:
Grenadiers were originally chosen for their size and strength to hurl grenades, but by the mid-18th century, the role had evolved into elite assault infantry. Their distinctive mitre caps and disciplined ranks made them both a tactical and psychological force in battle. The 5th Regiment’s grenadiers were present in many major engagements, including campaigns in North America.
