Office of the Colonel of the Life Guard

The office of Colonel Ablemarle of the Life Guard could be found in the Knightsbridge Barracks, part of Whitehall. The office was stern yet well appointed, with a clerk directing all traffic either to one of the staff officers or to the Colonel himself. Several large oil paintings depicting large battles and even a sea battle decorated the walls. A small cabinet with liquor was provided for certain occasions.
