The story of the British Army's Household Division from 1969 to 2023. It is the biography of a family of three generations of soldiers who have served Crown and Country during a period of significant social and geostrategic change.

The Guards established an ascendancy in the Peninsular War and at the Battle of Waterloo, and in the words of the military historian, Allan Mallinson, 'They have never truly faltered since.' They have done so by changing when change was needed. His Majesty's Household Division is a national institution, admired by the public through its mastery of ceremonial and pageantry, and the magnificent hour that is Trooping the Colour. It is respected throughout the army for its fighting ability. Unlike many other parts of the army, the Household Division has escaped cuts and its value to the army and to the nation remains undiminished. This is not a traditional regimental history. It is the story of a family of seven regiments (The Life Guards, Blues and Royals, Grenadier, Coldstream, Scots, Irish and Welsh Guards) which symbolise the Union of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Published with the full support of the Major General Commanding The Household Division and its Trustees, it relates the story of the Guards from the start of the Troubles in Northern Ireland through the Falklands War, first and second Gulf Wars, most poignantly, Afghanistan all told with full access to regimental diaries, archives, and personal stories of those who were there.

Arvustused

This absorbing book celebrating a unique military asset commands close attention. * Country Life * This book is the perfect present for the Guardsman in your life. * Jonathan Boff, The Spectator * Well illustrated and packed full of stories, told in the words of those who have served, Those Must be The Guards is highly recommended. * Bulletin of the Military Historical Society * It is a sincere contemporary review of service over 50 years by the seven regiments of the Household Division. Whilst a colleague tells me every aspiring officer should read Those Must Be The Guards, it's also a faithful record that is of interest to a far wider audience. -- David Webb-Carter * Aspects of History * This handsome volume is testament to the Divisions vast contribution to the Army since 1969, the industry of the authors in writing it and the foresight of Headquarters Household Division in commissioning it. The authors describe the quick march of the Coldstream Guards as perfect in time and tempo, and the same applies to their book. * Journal of the Society for Army Historical Research * This work serves as an introduction to the military prowess of these fine regiments. * GunMart *
