Crimean War British Foot Guards regiment
In an exception to the convention of the time of the Crimean War that a British infantry regiment would consist of only a single battalion, the Foot Guards each paraded more than one; the Grenadier Guards had three, the Coldstream Guards two, and the Scots Fusilier Guards two.
Inkerman is an iconic battle for the Foot Guards as they held an isolated position unsupported against overwhelming odds. The Grenadiers were the only regiment to take their colours into the battle and as a result they became a focal point for the battalion, giving it not only a place to rally, but also a place to defend, as the men did not want to lose the colours of Queen Victoria’s premier Foot Guard regiment. During the defence of the colours, Grenadier Captain Percy won the Victoria Cross. To commemorate the battle, one of the Grenadier Guards companies carries the honour ‘Inkerman Company’ as does a company at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst.
This convenient bundle nets you a whole regiment’s worth of British Foot Guards including command group.
