More on Life Guards
Description from Wikipedia:
The Life Guards (LG) is the senior regiment of the British Army. With the Blues and Royals they make up the Household Cavalry.
They originated in the four troops of horse guards raised by Charles II around the time of his restoration, plus two troops of horse grenadier guards which were raised some years later.
*The first troop was originally raised in Bruges in 1658 as His Majesty's Own Troop of Horse Guards. They formed part of the contingent raised by the exiled King Charles II as his contribution to the army of King Philip IV of Spain who were fighting the French and their allies the English Commonwealth under the Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell in the Franco-Spanish War and the concurrent Anglo-Spanish War.
*The second troop was originally founded in 1659 as Monck's Life Guards.
*The third troop, like the first troop was formed in 1658 from exiled Royalists and was initially known as The Duke of York's Troop of Horse Guards.
*The fourth troop was raised in 1661 in England.
*The first troop of horse grenadier guards was formed in 1693 from the amalgamation of three troops of grenadiers.
*The second troop of horse grenadier guards was raised in Scotland in 1702.
Membership of these was originally restricted to gentlemen, and accordingly they had no non-commissioned officers; their corporals were commissioned, and ranked as lieutenants in the rest of the army. This state of affairs persisted until 1756.
In 1922 the two regiments were merged into one regiment, the The Life Guards (1st and 2nd).
