Excerpt from History of the Welsh Guards It is the lot of few regiments, as it is of few great men or women, to have the story of their birth and early years written by a contemporary hand. We all know how difficult it is to prove events even within our own times, and therefore the nearer we get to them the more unlikely it is that they recede into the realm of fiction. The Welsh Guards have this advantage, and, seeing that their inception took place during a great war, it is all the more important that their advent should be set down clearly and by one who was present. I had the advantage of being present and assisting at the birth, and no one can be better qualified than Major C. H. Dudley Ward, D.S.O., M.C., to carry on the story with its bapteme de feu and glorious exploits in the subsequent years of war. It had been the unanimous wish of the Welsh people - than whom none are more noted for their loyalty to the Crown - that the Principality should take its place among the nations of the British Isles in finding a regiment to assist in guarding the Throne. King George V gave expression to this sentiment, and to his own wishes, on February 6th, 1915, by commanding Field-Marshal Earl Kitchener, K.G., then Secretary of State for War, to put His Majesty's orders into execution. Accordingly, as I was commanding the London District, I was sent for by the Field-Marshal and ordered to raise a battalion immediately. On my asking Lord Kitchener how soon he expected this to be done, he replied, in his usual abrupt manner: "In a week!" My answer was: "They shall go on guard on St. David's Day" - and they Did!

The destruction of the British Expeditionary Force in 1914 called for new regiments to be formed. The Welsh Guards was one of these regiments. On 26 February 1915, King George V approved the creation of a Welsh Regiment of Foot Guards. Within a month, the Company Colours and their uniform details were settled. They immediately began training. In August, 1915, the Welsh Guards sailed to France to fight on the Western Front. Times were hard and the regiment's first test was the Battle of Loos: the first major action of the war to use the new Kitchener's men. Captain Dudley Ward served in the Welsh Regiment. His historical account of the men who fought through the battles tells the story of the hardships encountered, and the courage and determination these men showed. Four years of war are retold in compelling detail. Captain Dudley Ward thoroughly captures the sequence of events that unfolded, providing a detailed regimental history of the Welsh Guards during the First World War. Captain Dudley Ward (b.1879-1945) was the author of many regimental histories, including The Fifty Sixth Division: 1914-1918, The 74th (Yeomanry) Division In Syria And France, and Regimental Records of the Royal Welch Fusiliers - Vol III. 1914-1918,.

Although the youngest of the Regiments in the Household Division, the Welsh Guards have established a reputation on both the battlefield, and on the parade ground, that is fully equal to the proud standards for which Guardsmen have long been famous. The Welsh Guards were formed in 1915, and they saw much hard fighting in both World Wars. Of the first thirty years of their existence, almost a third were spent at war and as a result tradition and regimental spirit were quickly forged. Such is the variety of a modern soldier's life that in the years since the Second World War, the Welsh Guards have been employed in sixteen different countrys, (in some of them two or three times) as diverse as texas and the snows of artic Norway. This swift account takes their story from the regiment's foundation in 1915, from their baptism of fire at loos, through another World War, and on to the tragic business of trying to preserve lives, and some sort of life, in the internecine bitterness of Northern Ireland.
