The Irish Guards were formed in April 1900 by order of Queen Victoria in recognition of the gallantry of Irish units during the Second Boer War. The regiment has served in the First and Second World Wars and on later operations including Northern Ireland, Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan, while continuing its ceremonial role within the Household Division. Within the Army, the regiment is traditionally and affectionately known as the Micks.
