EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, hailing from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the Victorian period of the Coldstream Guards regiment. The image showcases a group of soldiers, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, gathered around a lantern in a dimly lit room. The soldiers, with their stern expressions and well-polished boots, exude an air of discipline and readiness. The Coldstream Guards, an infantry regiment of the British Army, is one of the oldest in the British military, with its origins tracing back to 1650. This photograph, however, is believed to have been taken during the late Victorian era, around the turn of the 20th century, well before the regiment's involvement in World War I. The soldiers in the photograph are seen holding various items, including rifles and other military equipment. The lantern, a common tool used for illumination during this period, casts an orange glow over the scene, highlighting the intricate details of their uniforms and equipment. The soldiers appear focused and alert, a testament to their training and dedication to their duty. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into the daily life of the Coldstream Guards during the Victorian era. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men and the important role they played in the history of the British military.
