I believe that there is a typographical error in the title. Isn't it Grenadier, instead of Grenaudier?
-
The Library of Congress said:
only1tanuki: We fixed the spelling of "Grenadier" in the title, to match the caption scratched into the negative. The question remains of whether the uniform and insignia belong to a Grenadier.

Drum Majors of the Grenadier Guards, both then and now, wore white leggings. The ensignia on his cross belt is also not that of the Grenadiers. It is a drum majors uniform of one of the Guards regiments but I am not sure it is the Grenadiers.

The Drum Major is wearing State Dress minus the white spatterdash gaiters that should in principle go with it. He is in fact from the Scots Guards, as the print is just clear enough to make out the thistle in the centre of the star on the baldric or cross belt. Although the relevant part of the monogram is obscured, I'd say that the photograph was taken either before or shortly after the death of Queen Victoria in 1901, as the baldric bears the "Queen's crown". The architecture in the background suggests the Tower of London as a possible location.

Alise is the second entry and it looks as though the transcription is correct, not a mistranscription of Alice. -
