I want to see once and for all if there is any "proof" of the 42nd Gren's wearing the red overstripe beyond Morier's one painting.
Not sure why the Lord George papers would have anything to say about the 42nd sett? I'm dubious about the red line use that early and would not take a suggestion of red in the Morier image as authoratative. Will be intersted in what you find.

It would help if I would have typed John, instead of George of course!
He was the Regimental COL, so correspondence between him and the regimental agent might speak of Grenadier distinctions.
