Guards
Regiment Fusiliers
Princess
Irene
This Guards Regiment
is one of two of such regiments in the Royal Dutch Army. A Guards Regiment
distinguishes itself from other infantry regiments through the special
bond with the Dutch Royal Family. This manifests itself for instance in
carrying out all kinds of ceremonial tasks, such as the formation of a
guard of honour during state visits etc.
The Guards Regiment
Fusiliers is the youngest of the two Guards Regiments. Whereas the history
of the Guards Regiment Grenadiers and Rifles dates back more than 150 years,
that of the Fusiliers does not begin until 1941, during the Second World
War in Great Britain.
