"The Royal Horse Guards: A Glimpse into History's Noble Warriors" The period is towards the close of day, as the sun sets on the Battle of Waterloo, 18 June 1815. In this vivid portrayal captured in Sketches of the British Army, a colour litho brings to life the valiant Royal Horse Guards. Their unwavering loyalty and bravery shine through as they stand tall amidst the chaos. A Blanket of Major Tyrwhitt Drake, made from fine textile, symbolizes comfort and protection for these esteemed soldiers who have dedicated their lives to serving their country. It reminds us of their sacrifices and resilience during times of war. The Entertainment to Colonials given by the Royal Horse Guards at Albany Street Barracks showcases not only their military prowess but also their compassion and camaraderie towards fellow comrades from distant lands. This litho immortalizes an event that fostered unity among nations. Mr George Ernest Paget's black-and-white photograph captures a moment frozen in time—a proud member donning his uniform with utmost dignity. His gaze reflects determination and honor that epitomize what it means to be part of this prestigious regiment. A Plate presented to the Officers by Earl Zetland serves as a testament to their exceptional service and dedication. Engraved with intricate details, it stands as a reminder of gratitude bestowed upon these gallant men who embody nobility both on and off duty. In Kensington Gardens, The Band of the Royal Horse-Guards fills the air with enchanting melodies while adorned in resplendent blue uniforms. Their music uplifts spirits amid tranquil surroundings—a harmonious blend between nature's beauty and man-made artistry. Tragically, we remember Colonel Frederick Burnaby—fallen hero from Royal Horse Guards—who met his untimely demise in Sudan during battle. An engraving immortalizes his memory forever etched within our hearts—an embodiment of courage that echoes throughout history.
