The Regimental family of the Coldstream Guards places great importance on remembering and honouring the service of those comrades who have gone before us. At its heart this story is essentially a very human one. A story of young men with their whole lives ahead of them torn away from all that they knew and loved, to answer a call of service to others and deter a tyrannical ideology from destroying a way of life which we hold dear today. In answering that call these men paid the ultimate sacrifice, but in doing so left a legacy which is enjoyed today throughout western Europe. A legacy hard won and achieved at great cost. A legacy for which we will always be grateful. a b "Trooping the Colour 2000 (The Preamble)". Youtube. 8 April 2019. Archived from the original on 26 May 2019 . Retrieved 19 July 2020.
