来源
Probably acquired by Lord FitzRoy Somerset when he became a Captain and Lieutenant-Colonel of the 1st Regiment of Foot Guards in 1814. The 1st Foot Guards gained the name 'Grenadier' in July 1815 by Royal Proclamation in recognition of the part the regiment played in defeating Grenadiers of the French Garde Impériale at Waterloo.
