A regiment-focused history that follows the Coldstream Guards from the immediate postwar occupation of France through later nineteenth-century service. It recounts operational involvement in continental occupation, field campaigns, colonial disturbances, and Egyptian expeditions, together with periods of garrison duty and organizational change. The narrative draws on official orders, diaries, regimental records, and contemporary illustrations, and includes appendices of notes and corrections and plates of uniforms and scenes. Throughout, attention centers on duty and endurance, documenting selected episodes of discipline, hardship, and acts of gallantry that the regiment regards as constitutive of its traditions.
