Can we, as parents, become guardians of our 19 year old child's property inherited from a relative , to protect her, as she will just whittle the money away on clothes and entertainment , instead of using it for a useful purpose after her army service?

No! However frustrating and annoying it is, you, as parents of a young adult with a tendency to fritter away money, are not entitled to be appointed as guardians of her property, now she is an adult , and there is no legal ground available to you from taking way her legal capacity to do whatever she wishes with her inheritance. It would have been wise for her relative to have made a trust fund which kept release of the main fund, and interest, under the control of a trustee/trustees.
