This regiment was split in 1816 creating Första livgrenadjärregementet andAndra livgrenadjärregementet .The regiment was allotted in 1685. The regiment was given the designation I 4 (4th Infantry Regiment) in a
general order in 1816. Första livgrenadjärregementet was then merged with Andra livgrenadjärregementet in 1928 to reform the old Livgrenadjärregementet.Campaigns
