The regiment is the successor of the Governor General's Bodyguard of the British Raj.

The first PBG was raised in India by Governor General Warren Hastings in September 1773. Back then, the Europeans, 바카라 웹사이트already recruited into the East India Company's service as infantry, were taken as personnel of the regiment.바카라 웹사이트

The first commander of the unit was Captain Sweeny Toone, an officer of the EIC. However, the regiment was later disbanded by Robert Clive in around 1765.

Initially, the regiment comprised one Lieutenant, four Sergeants, one Ferrier, six Daffadars, 100 troopers, and two Trumpeters. 바카라 웹사이트

Today, the President라이브 바카라 Bodyguard is a select body of hand-picked men with special physical attributes. They are chosen after a rigorous and physically gruelling process.

On January 27, 1950, the regiment was renamed the President라이브 바카라 Bodyguard.

PBG first saw action in 1773-74 when it was deployed against Sanyasis – a band that ravaged the countryside in the guise of mendicants. Its next campaign was against Rohillas in April 1774 in the battle of St. George where Rohillas were defeated completely.바카라 웹사이트

Throughout its history, the Bodyguard has varied in size from 50 men when first raised, to 1929 men in 1845. However, it was usually around squadron size or about 130 men.

As the President of India라이브 바카라 own Guard, it has the unique distinction of being the only military unit of the Indian Army that is privileged to carry the President라이브 바카라 Silver Trumpet and Trumpet Banner.바카라 웹사이트

The cavalryman라이브 바카라 life is woven around the calls of the trumpet giving it pride of place in unit traditions and ethos. The prestige of the unit is further enhanced by the trumpet banner it carries.

In 1923, when the Bodyguard completed 150 years of service, the then Viceroy, Lord Reading, presented this distinction on the President라이브 바카라 Bodyguard. 바카라 웹사이트One banner represented the Star of India with the battle honours of the regiment and the other banner carried the coat-of-arms of the viceroy. Each succeeding Viceroy, thereafter, presented the Silver Trumpet and Trumpet Banner to the Bodyguard.

Rather than a coat of arms, as was the practice in the colonial era, the monogram of the President appears on the Banner. Dr Rajendra Prasad, the first President of India, presented his Silver Trumpet and Trumpet Banner to the President라이브 바카라 Bodyguard on May 14, 1957.
