The Scots Greys rode into battle in grenadier caps instead of hats, a rare distinction for cavalry. Regimental tradition traces it to Ramillies in May 1706, when the regiment took the colours of the French Régiment du Roi. Officers' caps were velvet worked in gold and silver wire, and troopers' were cloth embroidered in wool. In the Seven Years War most of the regiment went to Germany in 1758 and fought at Bergen, Minden, Warburg and Villinghausen. At Warburg on 31 July 1760 the British cavalry charged and broke the French, and Warburg became a battle honour carried only by cavalry regiments.

All three riders are mounted on grey horses at a steady walk. The officer rides with his reins gathered, wearing a red coat laced in gold, an embroidered grenadier cap and black jackboots. His red shabraque is edged in gold. The two troopers carry their swords upright at the shoulder, with carbines slung behind them. They wear embroidered grenadier caps, red coats, dark breeches and jackboots, on red shabraques edged in yellow. Ride them out beside 6th Inniskilling Dragoons British Cavalry. For a Minden or Warburg display, set them behind British Infantry and British Grenadiers.
