The men who guard the King.
They are among the best known icons of Britain, and if you've ever been to London, you've probably seen them. They are the soldiers in bright red jackets or shining helmets, who stand outside Buckingham Palace, or in Whitehall. They are men who can stand absolutely still, even when tourists tell them jokes, touch them, push them, or try to make them move. They look identical, and they march like robots. But who are these soldiers? Are they an army of clones, or actors? Or are they real soldiers? Some people are surprised to learn that they are real soldiers; and the guns that they carry are very real too. The guns are not just for show; they are loaded! The men who stand guard outside Buckingham Palace and certain other royal palaces are in fact some of the best-trained soldiers in the British army. They belong to a number of historic regiments, such as the Grenadier Guards or the Scots Guards. There are two main groups of guards, those who have horses and those who do not. The former are known as the "Household Cavalry", and the latter as the "foot guards". Ceremonial duties are just a small part of a guardsman's life. The foot guards are the senior infantry regiments in the British army; most of the time, they train like other soldiers, a long way from London. Sometimes they may find themselves in war zones. In recent years they have also been sent to Bosnia and to Kosovo, to Iraq and Afghanistan in order to help with the international peace-keeping forces. The Household Cavalry is taken from two armoured regiments, called the Lifeguards, and the Blues and Royals. Three hundred men from these regiments are based in London for ceremonial duties on horseback; but most of the time, the men from these regiments are based elsewhere. When they are not taking part in ceremonial duties in London, they will be training in other parts of Britain, or serving in other parts of the world. One other group of soldiers sometimes takes part in guard duties; the "Gurkhas". Like the famous "Foreign Legion" in France, the Brigade of Gurkhas is different from any other regiment in the British army, because it is made up of foreigners. The Gurkhas are men from Nepal, a small state in the Himalayas, and they are one of the best fighting regiments in the British army. Of course, guards do not always wear their well-known red and blue uniforms. These are only worn for ceremonial duties. Most of the time these men wear normal military uniforms, just like other soldiers. And of course, under the uniforms, there are just ordinary young men, mostly in their twenties. They are very fit young men, but apart from that they are just like other young men of their age. Don't expect to find a robo-guard! These men are some of the best-trained soldiers in the world.

Who was Buffalo Bill?
Buffalo Bill Cody was born on a farm in Scott county, Indiana, on 26th February 1846. In those days, life in the American West was a constant struggle for survival, and native Americans and white pioneers would fight to the death to protect their homes and their people. Clearly, young Bill was a tough boy, who knew what he was doing. Before he was thirteen, he was an expert horse-rider and very good with a gun; and in those days, when the West was wild, that meant he had excellent qualifications for a job. Before the age of twenty, Bill left home and took a job with the Pony Express company, and very soon he became reputed as one of their best riders. It was the time when the West was being opened up. After the Pony Express, Bill got a job supplying buffalo meat to the men building the Kansas Pacific rail-road. In the space of 17 months, he claims to have killed 4,280 buffaloes. This is where he got his name, “Buffalo Bill". In the 1870s, he worked as a scout for the army, during the "Indian campaigns", and took part in General Custer’s war against the Sioux. Once, he killed Chief Yellow Hand in a duel. This was just one of the exploits that were written about in popular story books. In those days, anyone who killed Indians was seen as a hero. It is very different today. Today, we look at the Indian wars in a different light. Though many American Indians still call themselves “Indians", the expression “native Americans" is considered to be more correct. Huge areas of land have been given back to the Indian nations, and Americans accept that White pioneers stole it from them in the past. In fact, Buffalo Bill was one of the first men in modern America to realise that white Americans and Indians could, and should, work together. Bill made his peace with the Indians, and when he established his famous “Wild West Show", he recruited many famous Indians to work with him. They included Red Cloud, Red Shirt, and even Sitting Bull. His grandson says, “At its height, there were over 650 people who travelled with the show, including 250 American Indians. With these Indians, with all the cowboys, they re-enacted the robbery of the Deadwood stage coach and the Pony Express mail relay system". When he died, aged 70, Buffalo Bill knew that the old West was almost dead too, except in history and stories. Yet he knew, too, that one of the most famous names associated with its legends, was his own.
