New York (State). Militia. Regiment, 11th. Company, 1st.

The City Guard, as it was popularly known, began as the independent military company the Pulaski Cadets before changing its name to City Guard. In 1840 it was assigned to the New York State Militia's 222nd Regiment as Company B, later to the 11th Regiment as its 1st Company in 1847, finally ending up as Company C of the 9th Regiment in 1859 with whom it fought during the Civil War. After the War, the City Guard merged with its long-time N.Y. rival the Light Guard to form the Old Guard, an inactive company of the state's military forces.
