Group portrait of the King's Guard, which provided a guard for 24 hours at Buckingham Palace as part of the coronation events in May 1937. Identified left to right: back row: Watson; Milson; Biggs. 4th row: White; Hook; Marr; Chessell; Mills; Eddington. 3rd row: Garrard; McGuiness; Johnson; Ibbotson; Brazier; Burke; Masters; White: Rodda; Zimple; Burrows; Bennett; Lewis David Price; Nicholson; Dickson; Baxter. 2nd row: Tregowarth; Farrell; Lamb; Elvish; Sharpe; Horsey; Scott; Watson; Dinsmore; Brown; Cunningham; Burmeister; Nicoll; Worsnop; Hird.

The suggestion of forming a guard is believed to have come from Lewis David Price and Arthur Percy Sullivan, VC, who died before the event. Sullivan joined the Australian contingent to the coronation of King George VI and took with him the ashes of British VC winner Sergeant Arthur Evans who had died in Australia. On 9 April 1937, eleven days after handing over these remains, Sullivan died when he accidentally slipped and struck his head against a kerb in Birdcage Walk near Wellington Barracks, London. After a military funeral, his ashes were returned to Australia and placed in the Northern Suburbs crematorium, Sydney.
