Grenadier Guards
a. Originally: a soldier trained to throw grenades. Now (in the British army) only in the name of the Grenadier Guards (colloquial. Grenadiers), the first regiment of household infantry.At first, four or five grenadiers were attached to each company, but later, each battalion or regiment had a company of them. Though grenades went out of general use in the eighteenth century, the name of ‘grenadiers’ was retained for a company of the tallest and finest men in the regiment.
