The Colonel's Fund

The saying "once a Grenadier, always a Grenadier" was instrumental in the creation of The Colonel's Fund Grenadier Guards. H.R.H. Prince Philip is Colonel of the Grenadier Guards and is patron of the fund.

The Colonel's Fund was established on the battalion's return from a six-month deployment which ended in November 2007.

During this deployment the Grenadier Guards suffered five killed in action, numerous others suffered severe injuries such as lost limbs and loss of sight.
