Coldstream Guard

Those involved in re-enacting are often meticulous with the uniforms and the many details that enrich a presentation. Uniforms and their details can be learned through relatively simple research in some cases, with deeper effort in other cases. But every action, including the details of salutes and march cadences mean that the homework adds up quickly in the life of the true re-enactor.

Here my friend Ernie Klapmeier is resplendent in his Coldstream Guard uniform, that of an officer, both aboard his mount and during the salute of The Star-Spangled Banner.
