TRACING A COLDSTREAMER

Tracing or tracking (as some like to say) a Coldstreamer can be a very daunting and stressful time!

That said, if the Coldstreamer is still serving then he will more than likely (unless he is posted to another Unit) be located at one of the addresses above (with the Bn, at No. 7 Coy are even with RHQ).

If you know that the soldier is within the Battalion, and know of his details then you could try the  "Save a Stamp" feature.

Although we would very much like to we do not have the resources or time to track individuals down for you. ShinyCapstar is inundated with many e-mails, asking for us to try and track down lost friends, colleagues or family members - or to gain information of how to do it

Unfortunately, ShinyCapstar regrets to inform you that we cannot provide this facility.

ShinyCapstar is a Battalion Run Website, and is presently ran by one single Coldstreamer.  Records of past Coldstreamers and relevant information is stored in the Regimental Archives in London. Information can be obtained from Regimental Headquarters but there WILL be an administrative charge.

For more details you should write "in person" to Regimental Headquarters, giving as many details as possible. The address is:

        Regimental Archives Section
        Regimental Headquarters
        Coldstream Guards
        Wellington Barracks
        Birdcage Walk
        London
        SW1E 6HQ


The 'Boro Branch also have a fantastic page of information and resources that anyone about to partake in a search should view. See it by clicking here.

SO, YOU WANT TO GET IN TOUCH WITH SOMEONE IN BATTALION?

You have two options open to you. 

        The first option (and the most recommended option) is writing to them.  Address can be found on the 'where are we now' page.

        If you know that the soldier is within the Battalion, and know of his details then you could try the  "Save a Stamp" feature.
