The first record of the appointment of a provost marshal was in 1511, when Henry Guylford assumed that role. The provost marshal was responsible for maintaining discipline in the British Army. To suppress rising crimes, such as desertion, looking, rape and brawling by the ranks of the army, on April 21, 1810, the Duke of Wellington raised the Cavalry Staff Corps, also known as the Staff Corps of Cavalry or Dragoons, functioned as military police throughout the Peninsular War and later in France.
