Excerpt from The Story of the Household Cavalry, Vol. 2 From Worms the route taken lay through Speyer where Dutch troops were added to the Allied forces, thence onward to Queich and Mainz. Shortly afterwards the army retired into winter quarters. King George returned to England, leaving behind him at Brabant the Third and Fourth Troops of the Life Guards, the Horse Grenadier Guards, and the Blues. The year 1744 ranks with 1742 as a year of dissensions, delay, and dawdle. On March 20th France formally declared war against England at Paris, and on March 3lst the English Government declared war against the French, their usual part in the ceremony being taken by the two Troops of Life Guards in London.
