Officer of the Guards

Notes:

P. 42 "They have charge of the king's person, receive greater pay and are clothed in a more expensive manner than the regular cavalry.  The flower of this corps is formed into a body of about four thousand, who are distinguished by the excessive richness of their dress and the insolence of their behavior."
