SOME BRIEF INFORMATION ABOUT THIS
PROJECT ...
For those that are not aware, the Coldstream Guards
Commemorative Capstar was a project which began in
January 2010 for competition on the return of the
Coldstream Guards from Op Herrick 11, Afghanistan. The
project invited all and everyone to make a donation of
£2 to have their name shown inside a piece of Regimental
History. The outside of the Capstar was to feature
images from the tour of Afghanistan, plus any images
that were submitted by those making a donation (due to
space constraints not all images could be used).

DESCRIPTION OF THE CAPSTAR (and some
features) ...
This piece has taken many months to complete, showing a
Coldstream Guards Capbadge which holds over 180
individual names from serving members of the Regiment,
Past Serving Members of the Regiment (some dating back to the
1st World War), Military Personnel from other Regiments
& Corps and families & friends of Coldstreamers (and
attached personnel) who have served or still serve in
the Coldstream Guards. Each name has been painstakingly
manipulated by hand (digitally) to take the form of the
inner of the Capbadge.
Coldstreamers that have been killed in Afghanistan on Op
Herrick 10 & 11 are shown on the bottom of the
Commemorative Piece, their names are:
•
Guardsman Michael Sweeney
of No.1 Company, 1st
Battalion Coldstream Guards, who was killed in action in Helmand Province, Afghanistan on
Thursday 01 April 2010.
•
Lieutenant Douglas Dalzell of No.1 Company, 1st
Battalion Coldstream Guards, who was killed in action in Helmand Province, Afghanistan on
Thursday 18 February 2010.
•
Lance Corporal Darren Hicks of No.1 Company, 1st
Battalion Coldstream Guards, who was killed in action in Helmand Province, Afghanistan on Thursday 11 February
2010.
•
Sergeant John Amer of No.1 Company, 1st Battalion
Coldstream Guards, who was killed in action in Helmand
Province, Afghanistan on Monday 30th November 2009.
•
Lance Corporal James Hill of the Mortar Platoon, 1st
Battalion Coldstream Guards, who was killed in action in Helmand Province, Afghanistan on Thursday 8th October
2009.
•
Guardsman Christopher King, 1st Battalion Coldstream
Guards, who was killed in action in Helmand Province (Op
Herrick 10 - attached to the Welsh Guards), Afghanistan
on Wednesday 22nd July 2009.
Surrounding the Capstar are various images that have
been blended into each other to create a flowing montage
to reflect the diversity and excellence that is ‘The Coldstream
Guards’, these images are from;
• The Coldstream Guards recent tour of Afghanistan (Op
Herrick 11).
• Number 7 Company’s monumental March from Coldstream to
London.
• Exercises and Training from of the Coldstream Guards.
• Ceremonial Events from the Coldstream Guards.
• Historical Figures from the Coldstream Guards.
• And images submitted from individuals that wished for
them to be featured on the piece.
A wreath can be seen surrounding the centre Capstar, this
wreath
displays the core values of the British Army;
• Selfless commitment: to put others before yourself
• Courage: to face up to danger and to do what is right
• Discipline: to maintain the highest standards, so that
others can rely on you
• Integrity: to earn the respect and trust of your
comrades
• Loyalty: to be faithful to your comrades and your duty
• Respect for others: to treat others with decency at
all times
There are many, many more features to this Commemorative
Capstar, any images or descriptions shown here will not do
it justice. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that the piece be
purchased in either A2 or A1 size, this is an ideal size
to have mounted and framed or to be even stuck up on a
wall with a little sticky-tack.
THE PRICE OF A PIECE OF
REGIMENTAL HISTORY ...
It is hoped that everyone can understand the amount of
time and effort that has been put into this outstanding
piece of Coldstream History. It is, however, very
obvious that having a price-tag that is not affordable
would be very ............. unpractical. For those reasons, I have
sourced many professional printers to ensure that the
print you receive is of the highest quality but
in the same vein, affordable.
It is recommended that either the HUGE A2 (420 × 594mm)
or SUPER HUGE A1 (594 × 841mm) versions are purchased,
as any size smaller size could result that details may not be
read (i.e names, description & images on the piece).
Should you insist on requiring an A3 (297 × 420mm) or A4 (210
× 297mm) print then this is still possible, but you will need to
e-mail me
with your requirement.
State of the art professional equipment is used to
reproduce this piece of work (not printed on a home
printer). The paper used is 120gram premium bond paper,
and the finish is exceptional to
say the least (you will not be disappointed).
Each order will be dispatched in an extremely tough
mailing tube by RECORDED POST (this is the only method
that I am willing to dispatch the prints). This is to ensure that you receive your
order is perfect condition and also to ensure that no
items are lost in transit (and if they are, a Royal Mail
investigation can be initiated – as all orders are
insured).
