  • The inclusion of Canadian regiments in this article is perhaps debatable. Although Foot Guard and Horse Guard regiments do exist in Canada the term "Household Division" was never used in the Canadian Forces Order of Battle now or then. Therefore, a Household Division cannot be said to have existed in that country and neither do Guards regiments of Canada constitute part of the British Army's Household Division. The only thing that came close to it was Canadian Guards in the 60s but even so it was approximately the size of a brigade with all its regular and militia battalions and again, the Household Division term was never used by that regiment.
* Although the three Canadian Guards regiments (Horse Guards, Foot Guards, Grenadiers) are not officially placed in a single division in the order of battle, they are informally considered the country's Household Division. The heads of these three regiments, for example, are all automatically ADCs to the Governor General.
