A question was recently asked concerning the differences between uniforms of the 1st Troop and 2nd Troop of the Horse Grenadier Guards. As I had recently been looking this up - I was able to help with some illustrations - however, this was in another thread - so am copying them here - in case anyone else looks for them at some point in the future.
Private - 1st Troop HGG c.1751 - after Morier.
Private - 2nd Troop HGG c.1751 - after Morier.
