Seamus is the 17th regimental mascot of the Irish Guards and was acquired from his breeder in North Yorkshire in October 2020.

He spent four weeks with his new handler, Drummer Adam Walsh, from Dublin, at the Defence Animal Training Centre at Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire, before officially joining the regiment. 

As part of his training, he was familiarised with military music and the Regimental Band of the Irish Guards.

Seamus lives alongside the guardsmen and attends recruiting events and ceremonial occasions.

On International Women’s Day, Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales made her first visit to the Irish Guards since becoming their Royal Colonel in December last year. The Irish Guards are under the command of  Lieutenant Colonel James Aldridge who introduced the new royal regimental Colonel to the men and women of the Irish Guards in the snow swept fields of Salisbury Plain.

Despite sub-zero conditions and heavy snow on Salisbury Plain, the Irish Guards were chuffed to show their Royal Colonel some of their recent activities and operational duties across the world. These included counter poaching in East Africa to providing basic infantry training to Ukrainian recruits in the UK.

Keep reading how KC3 is so jealous and wants to dim everyone’s shine. Meanwhile PW accompanies PC on her first visit to the Irish Guards, the press release is written as if he’s the main character and he gives a speech on the day with her dutifully by his side. Isn’t this supposed to be her big day? Imagine if KC3 had done the same when QC did her first visit to the Grenadier Guards…

Both Will & Kate gave speeches. William gave a speech as the outgoing colonel. Kate gave a speech as the incoming colonel.

The road to the next duty is the only straight one.

- George MacDonald

General Sir Mark Carleton-Smith was the youngest Head of the British Army in over a century, the longest serving Chief of the General Staff since the Second World War and the most senior Special Forces officer in Defence.

The son of a major-general, Carleton-Smith went to Eton and later Durham University to read history. He joined the Army 40 years ago in 1982 on a university scholarship and graduated from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst as an Infantry officer in the Irish Guards. 

He passed the SAS Selection Course in 1990 and served around the world with the SAS for most of the following 15 years in the Gulf, South America, Africa and the Balkans. Carleton-Smith was Commanding Officer of 22 SAS Regiment after 9/11 and commanded all Special Forces operations in Iraq, Yemen and Afghanistan.

He subsequently assumed command of 16 Air Assault Brigade, the Army’s high readiness parachute intervention force which culminated in his command of all British Forces in Afghanistan during one of the war’s most intense periods.

Promoted to Major General as Director of Special Forces, he commanded all the United Kingdom’s Special Forces for 3 years which included implementing the strategy to defeat ISIS in Syria and Iraq. 

Prior to taking up the post of Chief of the General Staff, the professional Head of the British Army in 2018, he was Defence’s Director of Military Strategy and Operations which included directing the UK response to Russia’s invasion of Crimea and military support to Ukraine. 

General Sir Mark Carleton-Smith has also been Honorary Colonel of the Irish Guards and of Oxford University OTC and also been a member of the England Rugby mentoring team preparing the squad for the 2023 World Cup and Colonel Commandant of the SAS.
