I always pronounce it as if it were a French word- "gron-yar", with a nigh-silent "d" at the end.And when I say "for" Grognards, I actually mean "about". How do you pronounce "grognard"?
I've always mentally 'heard' it as being a very British English pronunciation, Grog-Nard. But when listening to a podcast recently, one of the presenters spoke it with a more continental pronunciation, i.e. Groan-Yard, pronouncing the "gn" much as in "Sauvignon".
