Excerpt: The Brigade of Guards (sometimes, and less formally, known as the Guards Brigade ) is a historical elite unit of the British Army, which has existed sporadically since the 18th century. Its motto is honi soit qui mal y pense (French, "Shamed be whoever thinks poorly of it"), which is also the motto of the Order of the Garter. The Brigade of Guards was formally reformed on July 14, 1948 as the administrative depot for the regiments of foot guards, in line with the rest of the infantry. In line with the reforms of the army, it was renamed as the Guards Division on July 1, 1968.Regular Force Units A sentry from the Grenadier Guards on duty outside St James's Palace Websites (URLs online) A hyperlinked version of this chapter is at The Fencibles (from the word defencible ) were army regiments raised in the United Kingdom and in the colonies for defence against the threat of invasion during the American War of Independence and French Revolutionary Wars in the late 18th century. Usually temporary units, composed of local volunteers, commanded by Regular Army officers, their role was, as their name suggests, confined to garrison and patrol duties, freeing the regular Army units to perform offensive operations. They had no liability for overseas service. They included naval forces known as "River Fencibles", made up of boatmen on the Thames and other southern English towns and cities, as well as Sea Fencibles, who, among their other duties, manned small commercial vessels converted to coastal defense.
