of Aucinbreck. In 1650 When King Charles arrived in Scotland. The regiment
became Lyfe Guards of Foot. with the 1st marques of Argyll's son as the Regiment
2nd Colonel. the regiment received its colours at Falkland

Dunbar and Worcester. After these disastrous Battles the regiment
disappeared. Until 1660 when the King issued order for the Companies

Second Lieutenant Rochfort picks up a bomb, which was about to explode, and hurls it from the trench.
While a party of men was at work in a communication trench between Cambrin and La Bassee at 2 a.m. on the morning of August 3rd 1915, a bomb from a German trench mortar landed on the side of the parapet, close to them. Second Lieutenant George Arthur Boyd Rochfort, of the Special Reserve, 1st Battalion, Scots Guards, was standing a short way off at the time, and shouting to the men, he rushed at the bomb, seized it and hurled it over the parapet, where it instantly exploded. His courage and presence of mind saved the lives of many of the working party, and he was rewarded with the V.C. for most conspicuous bravery. |
