THE GUARDS: EXCELLENCE IN ACTION by General Editor Rupert Uloth This is the story of the seven regiments which compose the Household Division, commonly referred to as the Guards.

Yet in the 21st century they have never been more active and engaged in their role as highly effective operational military units, whether in Bosnia, Iraq or, more recently, Afghanistan. This book offers a true, wide-ranging colour portrait of the Household Division.
