THE ASSOCIATION

The Grenadier Guards Association aims to keep alive the comradeship formed in military service and provide welfare for our Grenadier ex-servicemen and widows.

THE REGIMENT

The Regiment was formed in 1656 and is the senior regiment of Foot Guards, an infantry regiment that conducts frontline and ceremonial soldiering.

THE DIVISION

The Household Division is formed from the Life Guards, The Blues & Royals, the Grenadier, Coldstream, Scots, Irish and Welsh Guards.

LONDON GUARDS

In April 2022, the London Regiment was re-designated 1st Battalion London Guards and ceased to be a regiment in its own right. Its companies transitioned to become reserve companies of the Grenadier, Coldstream, Scots and Irish Guards. The reservists become members of a Foot Guards regiment.

VIRTUAL GRENADIERS

Several reunions, get-togethers, Facebook Groups, breakfast clubs, and other activities have made their mark on Social Media platforms in recent years.  Collectively, these events and groups are referred to as Virtual Grenadiers as they operate in the virtual world of the Internet.
