"Our leaders march with fusees, and we with hand grenades!" ...do you really, though?
In a previous video I spoke at length about who the Grenadiers of the 18th Century were, how they acted on the battlefield, how they were selected, and other things like that. But in that same video I also mentioned how they didn't actually use grenades most of the time! Well, why is that?
