Combined Infantry of His Imperial Majesty’s Own Regiment


Categories / Army. Navy/Garrison

COMBINED INFANTRY OF HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY’S OWN REGIMENT, originates to the combined company, which guarded emperor Alexander II during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-78. In March 1881 in St. Petersburg a combined guards company was raised from soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Guards Infantry Divisions, Guards Rifle Battalions, Regular Life Guards Reserve Battalion, Life Guards Sapper Battalion and Guards Escort. In October 1883 soldiers of the 3rd Guards Division joined the company; in January 1883 the company was formed into a battalion, incorporating soldiers of army infantry regiments, which were under the patronage of emperor Alexander III. In August 1907 the battalion was formed into a regiment, reinforced with soldiers from all regular infantry guards and army units, including the life-guards. The Sapper Battalion and the Guards Escort Regiment were subject to the court commandant and guarded the emperor’s residences, occupied by the Emperor’s family. In the process of formation, first the company, later the battalion and subsequently the regiment was quartered in houses, belonging to the Anichkov Palace, under Emperor Nicholas II wooden barracks were built for the regiment in Tsarskoe Selo (they housed the Regiment staff, 2 companies of the 1st Battalion and the entire 2nd Battalion; two other companies of the 1st Battalion were stationed in Gatchina). In March 1917 the regiment was renamed the Combined Infantry Regiment, in May of the same year it was disbanded.
