The Coldstream Guards is the oldest regular regiment in the British Army, founded in 1650 as part of the Household Division. The regiment was formed by George Monck as part of the New Model Army, and it first fought at the Battle of Dunbar in 1650. In 1660, however, Monck supported the Restoration and led his regiment from Coldstream in Scotland towards London to support the return of King Charles II of England; the regiment was then assigned to keep order in London, suppressed thte Fifth Monarchists in 1661, and was renamed The Lord General's Regiment of Foot Guards. In 1670, the regiment was renamed to the Coldstream Regiment of Foot Guards. The regiment took part in the suppression of the Duke of Monmouth's rebellion at the Battle of Sedgemoor in 1685, fought in the War of the Grand Alliance, the Seven Years' War, the American Revolutionary War, the French Revolutionary Wars, the Peninsular War, the Napoleonic Wars (distinguishing itself at the Battle of Waterloo), the Crimean War, the Anglo-Egyptian War, the Second Boer War, the Western Front of World War I, World War II, the Malayan Emergency, the Mau Mau rebellion, the Aden Emergency, the Troubles, the Gulf War, the Bosnian War, the Iraq War, and the Afghanistan War. The regiment often partakes in state ceremonial occasions as a household regiment.
