John Russell's Regiment of Guards
John Russell's Regiment of Guards (later called the King's Royal Regiment of Guards) was an English infantry regiment formed following the Restoration of King Charles II to the throne in 1660.
The regiment served as a second regiment of foot guards, mirroring the form and function of Lord Wentworth's Regiment. It was commanded by John Russell. Upon the death of Lord Wentworth in 1665, the two regiments were amalgamated into the 1st Regiment of Foot Guards.[1]
Notes
- Fraser 1989, p. 6.
gollark: no.
gollark: > NB: 'just run off the bottom of the screen and keep going' is not an official strategy, it only arises from a bug in the osmarks.tk implementation. The original Emu War code prevents trying to run off the edge of the screen, but osmarks forgot to update these when he updated the gamefield size, foolishly assuming that the variables for gamefield size actually controlled the other relevant bits.
gollark: No! That picture is being used out of context!
gollark: It even says so at the top of the page.
gollark: Hey, how come you added a strategy which is explicitly just a bug exploit?
