Irish Guards on Parade - a photo on Flickriver

1st Battalion The Irish Guards are pictured lining up on parade during a State Visit by The President of the Republic of Indonesia, Dr Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.

The Irish Guards, part of the Guards Division, is a Foot Guards regiment based in Mons Barracks, Aldershot.

The current regiment was formed on 1 April 1900 by order of Queen Victoria in recognition of the many courageous acts carried out by Irish soldiers in the Second Boer War.

The regiment takes its motto, 'Quis Separabit' or 'Who shall separate us?' from the Order of St Patrick, an order of chivalry founded by George III.

As a Foot Guards Regiment the Irish Guards Regiment is involved in public and ceremonial duties at Buckingham Place, Windsor Castle, St James's Palace and The Tower of London.
St Patrick's Day is the traditional celebration of the Irish Guards and fresh shamrock is presented to members of the regiment.

The Battalion is made up of five companies with a variety of supporting arms and has recently deployed on operations in Helmand province, Afghanistan. One of the Guards' roles in Afghanistan was mentoring soldiers from the Afghan National Army.
