		This brief history of the detachment is written in four parts: the early history of the three Guards Regiments; the formation of the Brigade; their service in America 1776-1783; and the history of the system of giving Guards officers precedence over Army officers, termed "double rank".

		On February 1, the Guards forced the crossing of the Catawba River with great gallantry and on March 15 suffered grievous losses at the battle of Guilford Courthouse, after which the Brigade was temporarily reduced to one battalion of 4 under-strength companies.

		The German pressure was heavy behind them, and that evening the 3rd Coldstream Guards on outpost duty to the north-west of Landrecies, on the Mormal road, were attacked, and, as history shows, beat off that attack in a night-fight of some splendour.
		The 3rd Coldstream, attacking the farm, found themselves outflanked from a ridge on their right, which was then attempted by three companies of the Irish Guards.
		When the Coldstream relieved the Battalion that night, one of our patrols found a felled tree had been carefully placed across their homeward path by some unknown hand—it might have been the late Jager under-officer—who had expected to attack the patrol while it was climbing over the obstacle.

		To being with, the correct officers headwear with the dress tunic is the bearskin cap, like the one loaned to me by HM Guards tailors for the grave ceremony, (it did not have a chin strap because these are individually fitted and they did not have time).
		This was requested to be adopted by Queen Victoria for all her guards regiments, after the victory at Waterloo in 1815.
		To further complicate matters, the red tunic was not even field dress for officers at the time - it was the fl undress coat - (a bit like a Union officers frock coat, but with frogs across the front).
