The guardsman's helmet is adorned with a white plume, and he carries a sabre and a carbine. 3. Background: The First Kings Dragoon Guards was formed in 1685 by King Charles II as the "King's Dragoon Guards." The regiment saw action in numerous battles throughout its history, including the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.
