EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the essence of a Guardsman of The Coldstream Guards, one of the oldest and most prestigious infantry regiments in the British Army. Established in 1650, The Coldstream Guards predates even the formation of the Grenadier Guards, with whom they share a storied history. The Coldstream Guards' motto, "Nulli Secundus" or "Second to None," reflects their unwavering commitment to excellence and their belief in being the best. The Guardsman depicted in this painting wears the distinctive uniform of The Coldstream Guards, which includes a scarlet tunic, black trousers, and a bearskin hat. He carries a Lee-Enfield rifle, a standard-issue firearm during the 20th century, and is prepared for combat with a fixed bayonet. The Guardsman's jacket is adorned with various insignia, including the regimental badge of a garter star and the Queen's crown. The Coldstream Guards have a rich and storied history, having served in numerous campaigns and conflicts, including the Napoleonic Wars, the Crimean War, and both World Wars. Their dedication and bravery have earned them numerous battle honors and the respect of their enemies and allies alike. Despite their seniority among the Foot Guards, The Coldstream Guards are often overshadowed by their more famous counterparts, the Grenadier Guards. However, they proudly uphold their tradition and continue to serve with honor and distinction in the modern British Army. This painting, by renowned artist Malcolm Greensmith, is a testament to the enduring legacy of The Coldstream Guards and the sacrifices and dedication of the men who have served in its ranks.
