A Guarda Republicana



Created by the Provisional Junta in the very first days of the uprising, the Republican Guard consisted of die-hard Republicans, most of them veterans of the 1st Civil War.



Fanatically devoted to Saldanha, all the Officers and Sergeants were hand-picked by him .



What was  meant to be a regular Cavalry Regiment quickly developed to be an elite Pretorian Guard.
