-Introduction- The silhouette of a grenadier a pied is one of the most symbolic and most easily recognised images from the Napoleonic era,
second only to the silhouette of the Emperor with his hat and grey riding cloak. The guard was elite and self confident, its mesmeric effect
on friend and foe alike was due to its close relationship with the Emperor. At the very top of the military food chain under Napoleon was
the indomitable Imperial Guard, the best seasoned and most highly decorated veterans in the entire French army...the creme de la creme.
They were the most fearsome and dedicated warriors of their day. From the plains of Spain to the snows of Russia, they followed closely
behind the legendary black bicorn hat with the tricolor cockade trusting absolutely in the genius of the man who wore it. They were his
`Children', he was their `Tondu'. They would fight and die for nobody but him.
The Guard had its origin in the Consular Guard (Garde des consuls), created November 28, 1799, by the union of the Guard of the
Directory (Garde du Directoire exécutif) and the Grenadiers of the Legislature (Grenadiers près de la Représentation nationale). These
formations had for principal purpose the security of the executive and legislative branches of the French Republic and gathered a small
number of soldiers, about a thousand. One may question their utility, as they did not oppose Napoleon's 18 Brumaire coup of 1799. The
Consular Guard changed its name to the Imperial Guard on May 18, 1804. Its headquarters were located at the Pentemont Abbey in Paris.
-Purpose of the Division- The Grenadier Division of the Imperial Guard's main purpose is to provide an overall, safe and fun environment for it's members

to provide humor without needing to humiliate, discriminate, or plain harm people.
