The Joseon Infantry Division (Korean: 조선보병대) was an Imperial Guard Infantry established after the disbandment of the Imperial Korean Armed Forces to protect the Five Grand Palaces and members of the House of Yi. They had very little to do apart from serving as sentries, as they were mainly a ceremonial unit guarding the old palaces. At the time, articles about "the world's only peace army" were often published in daily newspapers. Their role was insignificant to Japan's Colonial Rule as Japan left the battalion-level Joseon infantry and company-level Joseon cavalry as a royal guard to prevent Korean soldiers in Hanseong, who had become unemployed, from joining the "righteous army", and to protect and monitor Emperors Gojong and Sunjong.[1][2]
