1st Battalion, London Rifle Brigade, marching to the Mansion House, 30 May 1919
Here we see part of the 1st Battalion, London Rifle Brigade, marching to the Mansion House on 30 May 1919 on their return from France. The Brigade had served in France since November 1914 and amongst the crowd were several hundred former members of the battalion, presumably wounded out earlier in the war.
Those Must be the Guards – the Household division in peace and war, 1969-2023, Paul de Zulueta and Simon Doughty.
A sequel to Julian Paget’s The Story of the Guards taking the story from 1969 to the coronation of King Charles III, and giving us a good cross-section of British military history in that period, as the seven Guards regiments between them served in Northern Ireland, the Falklands, with the British Army of the Rhine, in both Gulf Wars, the invasion of Afghanistan and the counter-insurgency campaigns that followed. Also covers their ceremonial role, in particular at the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II and the coronation of King Charles III.
