Commonwealth Guard Regiments
After WW1 the British Army raises 4 more Guard Regiments in recognition of the part those nations or groups of nations played in the 1st world war in the same way that the Irish Guards were raised for the same sort of reason in 1900 following Irish Regiments services during the Boer war
These units become standing regiments of the British Army and part of the 'Brigade of Guards'
Canadian Guards
Australasian (ANZAC) Guards
African Guards
Indian Guards
The intention was also to provide a ‘core’ of commonwealth troops made up from long service volunteers to better allow for the build-up of commonwealth forces in another large war.
Does this work - are the unit names okay and what impact does this have on subsequent wars / conflicts
