Description
The Grenadier Guards trace their lineage back to 1656,[4] when Lord Wentworth's Regiment was raised from gentlemen of the Honourable Artillery Company by the then heir to the throne, Prince Charles (later King Charles II), in Bruges, in the Spanish Netherlands (present-day Belgium), where it formed a part of the exiled King's bodyguard.[5] A few years later, a similar regiment known as John Russell's Regiment of Guards was formed.[6] In 1665, these two regiments were combined to form the 1st Regiment of Foot Guards, consisting of 24 companies of men.[6] Throughout the 18th century, the regiment took part in a number of campaigns including the War of Spanish Succession the War of Austrian Succession and the Seven Years' War.[7] At the end of the Napoleonic Wars, the regiment gained the name "Grenadier" in July 1815 following a Royal Proclamation.[8]
