The Coldstream
Guards are the
oldest Regimentin
continuous existence* in the
British (Regular) Army. Formed in 1650 it has
given over 350 years of Loyal Service to Queen and Country. It is
only fitting that such an 'Elite' Regiment have a website that is
'Second to None', dedicated to everything Coldstream . . . . and
much, much more!
(*YES,
we can back up this claim!)
The ShinyShop has now opened for business - be the first to wear
some ShinyCapstar and EXCLUSIVE Coldstream Memorabillia.
In the shop there are loads of designs (with more being added
weekly) that ARE NOT available in any high-street shop. With
men's, ladies and children's wear you're bound to find that ideal
gift - there's even Coldstream Pants!
If you're looking for action,
excitement and the chance to see the world, few careers can match
that of
an Infantry Soldier, if
you want a little bit more and want to become one of the best
Infantry Soldiers in the World, then join the Coldstream Guards
(want to see a video?).
It's not easy, but the prestige of becoming a Coldstreamer and part
of one the most respected military organisations in the world is
worth it. Many try, many fail, have you got what it takes?

joining our Regiment. The Battalion
Football Teamhave just returned from Australia for 10 days
playing football and seeing the scenes (and getting paid for it!).

5 years of research, and a truly remarkable and fascinating account
based on factual information and details, people, dates, times and
places which took over five years of research.

ShinyCapstar was first
created in June 2001, with the main objective to have a 'user
friendly' portal of Information to aid anyone interested in the
Coldstream Guards (past, present & future) with help or advice when
required. The site also functions (where possible) as a way of
communication to relay messages to family and friends through the
MESSAGE BOARD or through
SAVE A STAMP (click the links for more
information). You can also take advantage of the
CONTACT WAIT-OUT database, where
lost friends and colleagues can get in touch.
Also, another note worth mentioning is although this site is
extremely popular, you must note that it is an UNOFFICIAL WEBSITE.
