33rd (The Duke of Wellington's) Regiment of Foot
Purportedly, this is the outfit Thomas Guy served in and saw combat with in the Boer Wars.
The unit was so named by Queen Victoria in 1852 after the death of the 1st Duke of Wellington
- the only regiment to bear the name of a commoner after 1782. (This is a painting by O Norie
c1865 showing the regimental staff in their home service uniform.)
