	Scots Guards (1914) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Guards Division soon after the end of the war, was ordered to the Rhine, eventually crossing the frontier on the 11th December.
		The 24th Guards Brigade was then used to protect a number of Norwegian ports from German attack, though all fell by the end of May, and the British, due to the troubling situation in France, the British began evacuating from Norway, which was completed by the 8th June.
		The Scots Guards performed valiantly, using their anti-tank guns to great effect against the German armour, with many German tanks being knocked out by the Guards and other regiments, and the German offensive was soon called off.

		Much of the war for the Irish Guards would be fought at Ypres, and the name, "the Salient" was etched in their memory for all time.
		This enabled the Guards regiments to better consolidate command at any given time and for the men to work with officers they were more familiar with when attacks got stalled or broken up by heavy casualties.
		The Irish Guards, and the remainder of their brigade were moved over the next few days, constantly in reserve to assaults that would eventually fail due to the fact that the German positions were able to weather the heavy shelling of the British artillery.
