(From the Recruiting Website)
On the 28th October 1664 an Order-in-Council was issued calling for 1200 soldiers to be recruited for service in the Fleet, to be known as the Duke of York and Albany's Maritime Regiment of Foot. As the Duke of York was The Lord High Admiral, it became known as the Admiral's Regiment. The Regiment was paid by the Admiralty, it and its successors being the only long service troops in the 17th and 18th century navy.

Did the coldstream guards form the royal marines?
As far as i am aware there were no Royal Marines on board ships or protecting civilians, forts,routes, shipping lanes & cargo from the UK to America, India etc during 18th & 19th Centuries. However there is substantial proof & evidence that regiments of the Coldstream Guards from the Brigade of Guards were undertaking all the duties as stated above well beyond the 19th Century, until the Royal Marines were formed. Needless to say the Royal Marines would never admit to being formed from the Coldstream Guards.
