"The British Grenadiers" is a traditional marching song of British, Australian and Canadian military units whose badge of identification features a grenade, the tune of which dates from the 17th century. It is the Regimental Quick March of the Royal Artillery, Corps of Royal Engineers, the Honourable Artillery Company, Grenadier Guards 'The First (later 'Grenadier') Regiment of Foot Guards', and the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers. It is also an authorised march of the Royal Australian Artillery, The Royal Gibraltar Regiment, The Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery, The Royal Regiment of Canada, The Princess Louise Fusiliers, and The 5th Canadian Mounted Rifles. The standard orchestration for the military band was approved in 1762, when the Royal Artillery Band became recognised officially, and for all other 'grenade' regiments in 1763, when the remaining unofficial bands gained official status.
