About This Book

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.

APPENDIX VIII.
THE NULLI SECUNDUS CLUB.

Appendix No. 256 of Colonel MacKinnon’s Origin and Services of the Coldstream Guards  (ii. 373) contains an account of the formation and history of the Nulli Secundus Club up to the year 1832. Since then, the rules were altered (1869) so as to render Officers eligible for ballot who leave the Regiment after having served therein for three years, (reduced to two years in 1896). On account of the new arrangements introduced into the Medical Service of the Brigade (see ante, p. 340), Medical Officers transferred to the Coldstream from another regiment of the Brigade, are eligible for election, provided they are members of the First or Third Guards Clubs. And lastly, the service of Medical Officers when attached to the Regiment, counts towards election to the Nulli Secundus Club; but they are not eligible for election until permanently appointed to the Regiment.

The signal honour graciously conferred upon the members of the Nulli Secundus Club by His Majesty William IV., of receiving them annually at dinner, has already been adverted to in the text (see ante, p. 92).

In the year 1883, the club held its centenary celebration, when all Officers belonging to the Coldstream, who were not members at the time, were invited to dinner. Colonel G. R. FitzRoy, Lieut.-Colonel of the Regiment, presided. The meeting took place at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate Street, on May the 30th.
