COLDSTREAM GUARDS MARCH TO LONDON
JANUARY 2010 [VIDEO]
Three hundred and fifty years
ago General G. Monck led a small army of around 6,000 men
out of Scotland and marched south for London.
His trip took 34 days amidst severe weather conditions. Once
in London the General seized control of Parliament and
eventually
ensured the restoration of the exiled Charles Stuart to the
throne. Charles II rewarded him with a pension and a
dukedom.
Today the only regiment led by the famous general to survive
is the Coldstream Guards. To honour their former commander,
and to help raise funds for their injured colleagues,
Coldstream Guards Number 7 Company has recreated that 425
mile march.
Major J. Coleby led the troops on the march and says: "It
was a fantastic opportunity to follow in the footsteps of
General Monck."
