THE Grenadier Guards were founded in 1656 as the First Regiment of Foot Guards, formed at Bruges (then part of Holland) under the colonelcy of Lord Wentworth, on the orders of exiled Charles II. Custer accepted the lieutenant colonelcy of the 7th Cavalry in 1866 and was dispatched the following year to Kansas as part of Maj. He continues to hold that colonelcy but is outranked by the Queen, who is colonel-in-chief of the Royal Welch Fusiliers. |
