♚ About us ♚ The Royal Horse Guards are a new cavalry regiment in the NW community and hope to bring a different experience as been heavy cavalry. we are aiming to be a mature and well ordered group, using a different style of play than light cavalry as our main role is to support. As heavy cavalry we hope to make it more of a challenging experience to our members and test for the commanders. If you are interested in trying us out then head down to the enlist section. ♚ History ♚                                                           Pre-Napoleonic Wars The regiment spent most of the early Eighteenth Century guarding the monarchs in London. It was the war of Austrian Succession that brought the regiment back in to action. This was particularly the case as King George II actually headed the army himself. At the battle of Dettingen the regiment had mixed fortunes when they were disrupted and forced to retreat by recoiling cavalrymen of the Ligonier Horse who bounced off a French formation. In the ensuing confusion, the Blues were forced to retreat through their own infanty, causing yet more confusion. The regiment managed to reform and helped to subdue the elite French Household cavalry, the Maison du Roy. The Blues also took part in the battle of Fontenoy as part of the Household Cavalry Division. In the Seven Years War (1756 - 1763), the regiment picked up one of its more unusual customs at the battle of Warburg (1760). The Blues are one of the only regiment that allows saluting by all ranks even when they are not wearing any headdress. The reason for this comes from a charge made during the battle of Warburg, when the Colonel, Marquis of Granby, lost his wig whilst charging in to battle and yet still managing to salute the Commander-in-Chief as the charge rammed home. The battle was an outstanding success for The Blues, and a new tradition was borne by the bald headed Colonel. On return to Britain, the Blues built the Army's first riding school at Northampton. The regiment remained here until the Cavalry Barracks at Windsor had been completed and was ready for occupation in 1804. Napoleonic Wars It wasn't until 1812 that The Blues were called to serve Wellington in his Peninsular campaign. They quickly saw action at the battles of Salamanca and Vittoria amongst many other countless smaller actions. One new colonel to join the regiment was Wellington himself in 1813. At the time Guards men were only obligated to salute their own officers - they did not salute any other regiments' officers. Wellington seems to have been tickled pink when he received his first salutes from his new regiment. He commented "Thank God, I've got a present out of the Guards at last!" During the battle of Waterloo, Wellington's regiment was brigaded with the Life Guards and the 1st King's Dragoon Guards. They took part, together with the Union brigade, in the massive extended line charge against the French. It was a very effective operation which threw out of the way the French curarriers advancing in support of d'Erlon's left and crashed into the left and rear of the Left-hand French division. Halting the French advance. The Household brigade also had the sense to limit their advances, unlike the Union Brigade, which paid dearly for its overenthusiasm. ♚ Ranks ♚ ♚ Information ♚ Current Leader: Captain Robert Douglas (Hardy) Current Second Leader: None Steam group: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/RHGBlues Tags: RHG_Rank_Forename_Surname TeamSpeak 3 IP: 108.61.25.67:11517 Banner: ♚ How To Enlist ♚ Code of Conduct Racism will not be tolerated Trolling will not be tolerated All members must be mature and polite to all members.

As I said on steam, the name Freikorps had been used by so many regiments that there us no point arguing over it. Good luck though

Crossed bones under a skull? I think Lutzow wanted to wear that but was rejected by the king. That's a symbol best associated with the Death head hussars.

Viel Glück, Kameraden!
