Three troopers of the Royal Horse Guards, members of what is known as the King's Guard, were remanded in custody at Bow Street recently charged with being con- cerned in a serious offence against a girl aged 14 and nine months.
Mr. Vincent Evans, prosecuting, described the men as a "thoroughly undisciplined lot,” and the N.C.O. in charge as "entirely unreliable."
