Entertainment to the Coldstream Guards: A 19th Century Military Celebration This photograph print, created in 1850, captures a moment of joy and camaraderie among the Coldstream Guards and their families during a special banquet held at the Portman-Street Barracks in London. The event was organized to celebrate the two hundredth anniversary of the enrolment of this distinguished corps by the renowned General Monck. The image showcases a bustling banquet hall filled with British soldiers, their wives, and children, all dressed in fashionable apparel of the era. The men, some wearing top hats and others donning the iconic bearskin hats of the Coldstream Guards, sit at long tables, while women and children gather around them. In the background, Union Jack flags and banners adorn the room, adding to the patriotic atmosphere. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge graced the occasion with his presence, taking a seat amongst the privates. The Sergeant-Major, Sergeant-Major Hurle, presided over the event, leading the crowd in grace before the meal. The fare consisted of an impressive 1400 lb. of beef, accompanied by pudding and beer, ensuring a hearty and satisfying meal for all. The Sergeant-Major, in his eloquent speech, praised the Coldstreamers for their unwavering martial spirit. Although there were no Waterloo veterans present, he was confident that the current Coldstreamers were equal in courage and dedication to their predecessors. This evocative print, from the Illustrated London News, offers a unique glimpse into the lives of the soldiers and their families during their time off duty, showcasing the camaraderie, pride, and patriotism that defined the British military in the 19th century.
