The Coldstream Guards are Recruiting NOW!
Was there a height requirement for Officers in the various Guards Regiments?
It is the oldest regiment in continuous existence in today’s modern British Army.
It's motto is Nulli Secundus or “Second to None”. The Grenadier Guards, the so-called Queen's Company, has reduced its height requirement from 6ft 2ins to 5ft 10ins.
The Coldstream Guards (COLDM GDS) is a part of the Guards Division, Foot Guards regiments of the British Army.
On there red tunics Coldstream Guards have there tunic buttons in groups of 2, whilst Grenadiers are singular. It became known as the Coldstream Guards in 1670, upon the death of General Monck, its first Colonel. The bearskin caps are what make the guards look so tall: the ones used by the Queen's Guard are 18 inches high (and some of them are heirlooms handed down through families for more than a century!) ‘The height requirement has been brought down to 5' 10", but traditionally, if you were in the Queen’s Company within the Grenadier Guards, you had to be 6' 2" or over. Coldstreamer Coldstreamer Lieut-General; Old Sweats; 10,820 posts; Gender: Male; Location: Coldstream HQ; Interests: Coldstream Guards medals and research WW1 Always looking for ANY medals to the Coldstream Guards … Members who served with Coldstream Guards. The Coldstream Guards was founded in 1650 as Monck’s Regiment of Foot and was part of Cromwell’s New Model Army.
Any help appreciated, Cheers.

Referring to a private … It is the oldest regiment in the British Army in continuous active service, originating in Coldstream, Scotland, in 1650 when General George Monck founded the regiment. There isn't a special height requirement for the Queen's Guard: in fact, past guard squads have included female soldiers (complete with bearskin caps).
Andy from the Shire (Served briefly within Queens Company 1Btn Grenadier Guards-Height requirement of over 6'2") Scots Guards have groups of 3, Welsh Guards in 4's and finally the Irish Guards in groups of 5.
