Also absol.The first Standing Order on the subject (but not containing the word) is dated May 1755; but the appellation may date back to Marlborough's time, as it is known that there were Campaign orders on the subject of Mounting of the Guard which do not appear to have been preserved. See ‘General Regulations, Orders, and Warrants, 1717–1766’, MS. in the Ministry of Defence Library, in which the ceremonial is fully described.
