Good morning,

Just to put the record straight on the regt'l title, different web sites put it differently. As an ex cavalryman I can tell you the correct answer.

From 1751 they were officially 1st (The Kings) Dragoon Guards
From 1921 they were officially 1st Kings Dragoon Guards

After amalgamating with the 2nd Queens Dragoon Guards in 1959 they became 1st Queens Dragoon Guards.
