  • Hosehold Cavalry
    Changing the Guard, Guarding the Change of History 1. INTRODUCTION The Queen's Guard and Queen's Life Guard are the names given to contingents of cavalry and infantry soldiers charged with guarding the official royal residences in London. The British Army has had regiments of both Horse Guards and Foot Guards since before the restoration of King Charles II, and, since 1660, these have been responsible for guarding the Sovereign Palaces. The Queen's Guard and Queen's Life Guard is mounted at the royal residences which come under the operating area of London District, which is responsible for the administration of the Household Division; this covers Buckingham Palace, St James's Palace and the Tower of London, as well as Windsor Castle. The Queen's Guard is also mounted at the sovereign's other official residence, the Palace of Holyroodhouse, but not as regularly as in London. In Edinburgh, the guard is the responsibility of the resident infantry battalion at Redford Barracks. It is not mounted at the Queen's private residences at Sandringham or Balmoral. The Queen's Guard is the name given to the contingent of infantry responsible for guarding Buckingham Palace and St. James's Palace (including Clarence House) in London. The guard is made up of a company of soldiers from a single regiment, which is split in two, providing a detachment for Buckingham Palace and a detachment for St James's Palace. Because the Sovereign's official residence is still St James's, the guard commander (called the 'Captain of the Guard') is based there, as are the regiment's colours.

Dowriey HER MAJESTTTHE QUEEN, Colonel-in-Chief of the Regiment The Memoirs of the I 8th (Queen Mary's Own) Royal Hussars INCLUDING OPERATIONS IN THE GREAT WAR BY BRIG.-GENERAL CHARLES BURNETT, C.B., C.M.G. With Maps and Illustrations WINCHESTER : WARREN AND SON, LIMITED,- 85 HIGH STREET 1926 MADE AND PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN BY WARREN AND SON LTD. WINCHESTER DEDICATED, BY GRACIOUS PERMISSION, TO %er ff!Laie5tg @be Queen, COLONEL-IN-CHIEF OF THE REGIMENT PREFACE COLONEL MALET'S story brought the Regimental History of the 18th Hussars down to the year 1906. The following pages, which are in continuation of these Regimental Records, will complete the History of the Regiment up to its amalgamation with the 13th Hussars. The basic facts have been recorded by successive Com- manding Officers in the Regimental " Digest of Services," and the compiler is deeply indebted to the contents of that book for the accuracy of his composition. He also has to acknowledge, with much gratitude, the kindness and courtesy of the " Historical Section of the War Office," whose staff invariably gave him great assistance in his search through official documents for a framework for those events, in which the Regiment bore such a distinguished part during the Great War. As a traditional event, it is a sad task to have to close the Memoirs of the Regiment as an individual unit in His Majesty's Army. Both Regiments, the 13th and the 18th~have this burden to carry, but it has been immeasurably lightened by the tad and camaraderie of all ranks of both Corps since the amalgamation has taken place.
