EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the essence of tradition and ceremonial grandeur with the depiction of Grenadier Guards, Sergeant and Drummer, dressed in their State uniforms, dating back to 1915. The Grenadier Guards, one of the most senior and distinguished regiments of the British Army, are renowned for their iconic bearskin hats and scarlet tunics. The Sergeant and Drummer, both standing proudly at attention, are adorned in the same regal attire, complete with gold braid, buttons, and sashes. The Sergeant, holding a baton and wearing a white glove, embodies the authority and discipline of the regiment. His stern expression and posture convey a sense of duty and responsibility that has been passed down through generations. The Drummer, on the other hand, wears a distinctive harp-shaped drum with the regimental crest, and holds a pair of drumsticks in his hands. The drum, an essential part of the regiment's history, adds to the ceremonial atmosphere of the image. The Grenadier Guards' State dress is a testament to the regiment's rich heritage and traditions, which date back to the late 17th century. The nicknames "Grenadiers" and "Piffers" (derived from the French word for "granade," a type of bomb used in warfare, and the sound of the drum, respectively) reflect the regiment's storied past. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the ceremonial uniforms and traditions of the British Army during the 1910s. The Grenadier Guards' State dress continues to be a source of pride and inspiration for the regiment and its members, who carry on the proud legacy of their forebears.
