| The Hanoverian coat of arms sits above an oval shape that has the figure of St Andrew, and the scroll with WATERLOO below. Thistles fill the space at the sides. The officers had a gilt version and the other ranks had brass. The Greys had a front plate on their bearskins in the 1820s, as seen in the series of anonymous paintings of various ranks but this one is more likely to be the one seen in the paintings of the Greys in the 1830s. The regiment were issued with new bearskins in 1842 that did not have a plate at the front. |
