The Canadian Grenadier Guards and the Governor General’s Foot Guards wear a similar uniform, which was designed
several centuries ago. The tunic color of uniform was chosen, as it would not show bloodstains. The cap, made of black bear hide was given
by king of England after the Battle of Waterloo. It was developed the way that makes soldiers appear taller that they really are. The trousers
are navy blue with scarlet strip down each seam. The CGG and the GGFG can be distinguished by the color of plume on the side of their
bearskin. All soldiers carry the standard rifle of Canadian Forces.
