1st Dragoon Guards - Slow March Of The 1st The Queen's Dragoon Guards

1st The Queen's Dragoon Guards (QDG) is a regiment in the Royal Armoured Corps of the British Army. It is the senior cavalry regiment, and therefore senior regiment of the line of the British Army. The current regiment was formed in 1959 by the amalgamation of 1st King's Dragoon Guards and the 2nd Dragoon Guards (Queen's Bays). The themes on which the march is based come from an opera by the Italian composer Mercadante who died at Naples in 1870. Though now almost entirely forgotten, several of his 60 operas were regularly staged in most European capitals during the period 1820-1870. They were especially successful in Vienna, and it is possible that Bandmaster Schramm who introduced ‘The Radetzky March’ was also responsible for selecting and adapting the Mercadante material.
