\n

The first female officer in the Army’s most senior regiment has died in a car crash.<\/p>\n

Capt Elizabeth Helen Godwin was part of the Life Guards, which is within the Household Cavalry.<\/p>\n

Commanding Officer Lt Col Tom Armitage paid tribute to the 28-year-old, stating that she was “talented, resourceful and compassionate”.<\/p>\n

At the time of the crash, which happened in Surrey on Friday, Capt Godwin was serving in the Army Training Regiment in Pirbright.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

‘A huge void’<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

She joined the Life Guards in 2020, winning the Sword of Honour at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst as the best of her intake.<\/p>\n

She played polo and hockey for the Army and took part in ceremonial duties, including Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral and the King’s coronation.<\/p>\n

Lt Col Armitage said: “History may record Lizzie as the first female officer in the Army’s most senior regiment, but I know she would want to be recalled simply as a tough and talented young officer doing her utmost to serve King and country and to lead and inspire soldiers.<\/p>\n

“Her sudden and untimely death leaves a huge void for all of us in the Household Cavalry family, and she will be remembered by us all as a lively, fun and dynamic officer with a very bright future ahead of her.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Capt Godwin, who grew up in Devon, was interviewed by British magazine Tatler in 2023.<\/p>\n

Discussing leading a 29-strong troop, she said: “No matter what, you have to have a confident front, because if you don’t believe in yourself, nobody else will.”<\/p>\n

Speaking about the King’s coronation, she added: “I remember really looking forward to it and feeling so privileged.<\/p>\n

“I had fortunately finished my equine training so that I would be in a privileged position to ride in the coronation.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
