The Brigade of Guards was an administrative formation of the British Army from 1856 to 1968. It was commanded by the Major-General commanding the Brigade of Guards and was responsible for administering the guards regiments .
After the Second World War the British Army had fourteen infantry depots , each bearing a letter. Infantry Depot A at Wellington Barracks was the headquarters for the five guards regiments.[1]
In line with the reforms of the army, it was renamed as the Guards Division on 1 July 1968.[2]
