Grenadiers á Cheval de la Garde Impériale Lackenby Love in the MistGrenadiers Cheval de la Garde Impriale The senior cavalry regiment of the Garde Imprial and thus the whole French army, the Mounted Grenadiers were known as the Gods. Selectively recruited, superbly uniformed and mounted, they represented the pinnacle of professional pride and excellence in the years before the first abdication of the Emperor. Their uniforms were based closely upon those of the Foot Grenadiers, including the tall bearskin bonnets.
