Regimental newsletters
From 2006, the regimental newsletter has been distributed as a PDF document, and is currently edited by Julian Corbett. Newsletters can be read in the members only section, and selected parts of past newsletters are available here shortly.
Prior to 2006, newsletters were distributed in print form by John Litchfield, the regimental founder, who is now taking a break from the task. Some old newsletters are still available on the Civil Wardrobe website.

Drill books
John Litchfield has produced a selection of drill books covering both the Napoleonic and the English Civil War periods. These are derived from period sources and are a very convenient way of studying appropriate drill of the period. They can be ordered from the Civil Wardrobe website.

Family history
From time to time we receive requests for information on ancestors who have served in the Coldstream Regiment of Foot Guards during the Napoleonic wars. Unfortunately we don't collect such information, but if you would like to trace an ancestor we recommend following the Guards Museum's Advice.
Mailing list
A mailing list is available for members, for both announcements of forthcoming events and general discussion. Information on the list is here.
