As most people know the sole remaining military force of the Vatican is the Swiss Guard, however at one time other nations had Swiss mercenaries guarding their monarchs, most notably the French.

Your challenge, should you decide to accept it, is to have a Swiss regiment serve in the British Army to the present day as part of the Guards Division. The regiment has to be truely Swiss, i.e. recruited from Switzerland, not just a British regiment carrying on the traditions of a long gone foreign unit. It also had to be an effective part of the army, not just a ceremonial unit.
