Regiment von Riedesel, Grenadier Kompanie
Formed in 2009, Regiment von Riedesel is also represented by a Grenadier Kompanie, which is based in the East Coast, U.S.A.. They have members based in New England, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and New York.
They wear the same uniform as worn by other members of the Regiment, with a few exceptions.
Instead of cocked hats, men of the elite Grenadier company wore tall brass mitre caps which featured a pom on top. On their cartridge boxes, they not only wore the brass plate, but also featured four brass grenades, denoting their status as Grenadiers. On the strap of the cartridge box, they wore match cases, although it is not documented if they still continued to wear them when they reached America.
