Coldstream Guards Information

The Coldstream Guards have over 360 years of continued unbroken service, from the Civil War to the present day. Our aim as a Historical re-enactment society is to recreate, to a high standard, the 2nd Battalion, Coldstream Guards as it would have been during the Waterloo Campaign in 1815. We take our hobby seriously and our membership includes people from a wide variety of backgrounds whose common interest is in being part of a team who can do something well together. We practice our foot drill and weapon handling throughout the year and we are happy to train anyone who is willing to learn. You do not have to be a perfect soldier to join us but you do need to be prepared to make the effort to be a good soldier. This is a family hobby and soldier's wives and families are expected to take on appropriate Living History roles with the group.
