EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of tradition and ceremony as The Coldstream Guards take over the Colour at Wellington Barracks in London during the 1910s. The Coldstream Guards, a prestigious foot regiment of the British Army, are renowned for their distinctive uniform, including the iconic bearskin hat and scarlet tunic. In this image, the outgoing guard, with their backs turned, are seen marching off, leaving the duty post. The incoming guard, with their eyes fixed forward, are poised and ready to assume their positions. The exchange of duties is a meticulously choreographed affair, with each soldier knowing precisely when to step forward and take their place. The Colour, a regimental flag bearing the regiment's insignia, is being carefully handed over from one officer to another. The importance of this moment is not lost on the soldiers, who understand the significance of their role in maintaining the regiment's proud history and traditions. The ceremony takes place in the grand surroundings of Wellington Barracks, a fitting backdrop for such a traditional and time-honoured event. The drill sergeant stands watchfully in the background, ensuring that every detail is executed flawlessly. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when ceremony and tradition were at the heart of military life. The 1910s were a period of great change, with the world on the brink of the First World War. Yet, amidst the uncertainty and upheaval, the Coldstream Guards continued to uphold their duties with unwavering dedication and pride.
