1894 Bayonet Bearskin Coldstream Foot Guard Guards Regiment Regiments Uniforms
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the Coldstream Guards, the oldest regiment in the British Army in continuous active service, as they paraded in their distinctive uniforms in the late 1890s. Established in 1650 by the future Charles II, the regiment has a rich history that spans over three centuries. The Coldstream Guards are easily recognizable by their iconic uniforms, which include a red tunic, black trousers, and distinctive bearskin hats adorned with white ostrich plumes. The guardsmen are also equipped with gleaming bayonets, adding to their imposing appearance. The Coldstream Guards were known for their discipline and dedication, and their uniforms were designed to instill fear in the hearts of their enemies. The bearskin hats were originally intended to protect the guardsmen from the sun and rain, but they quickly became a symbol of the regiment's prestige. The guardsmen in this photograph are shown in formation, with their arms at their sides and their bayonets fixed. Their expressions are serious and focused, reflecting the importance of their duties as members of the British Army. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of the Coldstream Guards during the late 1890s. It is a reminder of the rich history and tradition of the British military, and the sacrifices and dedication of the men and women who have served in its ranks over the centuries.
