From Kronoskaf's piece on the 5th Foot
In June 1762, the regiment still was with Granby's corps in Germany and took part to the battle of Wilhelmsthal. During this battle, the regiment captured a large body of French grenadiers. Because of this feat of arm, it received the privilege of wearing French grenadier busbies.
