The Royal Scots, the 1st Regiment of Foot, are the right of the line of the British Army.


However, the Grenadier Guards earned their name for their defeat of the French Grenadiers at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. That would meet you requirement that they won their place on the field of battle....even though they are neither the oldest nor have the honor of the right of the line.
