I'm pretty sure that this whole article should be re-titled the Household Division and explain the whole concept of the Foot Guards and the Household Cavalry. Never heard of the "Guard Division" - has anyone else?

The Guards Division is one of six adminstrative depots for the operational battalions of infantry in the British Army - the others are the Scottish Division, King's Division, Queen's Division, Prince of Wales' Division and Light Division. This is different to the Household Division, which is a ceremonial grouping of all British Army regiments that are classed as "guards" (the five regiments of foot guards and the Household Cavalry). Please note that the Household Cavalry is classed as a seperate corps in its own right and is listed operationally alongside the Royal Armoured Corps - Hammersfan 3rd November 2005 14:10
