Following the 1830 July Revolution, the Royal Guard was disbanded. All Swiss regiments (including those in the Guard) were mustered out and subsequently disbanded. However, the majority of the troops from both of the beforementioned units were kept in the army, with the 1st Swiss helping to form the later famed Foreign Legion. It was, in fact, Colonel Stoffel, the former commander of the 2nd Foreign Regiment (Swiss) during the Hundred Days who helped form the legion. These soldiers would later help form the 2nd Foreign Legion (France) in 1835, which later became the 2nd Foreign Infantry Regiment which remains in French service as a mechanised infantry regiment.
