Life Guards: The Unsung Heroes of the Caribbean From the picturesque shores of Barbados to the vibrant beaches of Miami, life guards stand tall as guardians of safety and symbols of reassurance. Whether it's Oistins or Enterprise Beach in Barbados, or even Miami Beach with its bustling atmosphere, these dedicated individuals keep a watchful eye on those who seek solace in the turquoise waters. As we delve into history, we discover that their noble lineage dates back centuries. From Lev Alexandrovich Belousov's portrayal of the Junker of the Life-Guards Caucasian-Mountain squadron in 1829 to an anonymous artist capturing a Soldier from Izyum hussar regiment between 1776-1788 and 1841-1862, these artworks remind us that bravery has always been at their core. Beach Huts serve as their humble abodes along sandy shores, providing shelter and respite from scorching sun rays. Behind every weathered face lies countless stories - like that depicted by an anonymous artist showcasing a staff captain from the 3rd Elisavetgrad Hussar Regiment in 1837. Their valor extends beyond sandy beaches; they have also played significant roles on battlefields. WM Bromley immortalized "The decisive charge of the Life Guards at the Battle of Waterloo" in his artwork from 1896. These brave souls fearlessly charged forward when duty called upon them. Even across continents, life guards continue to protect and serve. In London's Horse Guards stands a proud display - Gregory & Co's portrait captures Squadron Corporal Major with standard from the esteemed 1st Life Guards unit. Their presence is felt not only while mounted but also dismounted at Horse Guards – detailed views showcase their unwavering commitment to safeguarding lives. Beyond Barbados and London lies another paradise awaiting our exploration – St Lucia's Rodney Bay boasts Reduit Beach where yet another lookout stands tall.
