Max Posted 16 October , 2006 Share Posted 16 October , 2006 Hello Everyone This is a photo of my wifes Grandfather (Ronald Millen - man in doorway on left ) taken in the early/mid thirties. She thinks that he may have been in the Coldstream Guards and looking at the photo I have to agree, but my badge ID skills are slightly lacking and I am looking for confirmation. He was 6'4" so the man standing on the other side of the doorway must have been massive. One more thing, if the unit is the Coldstreams where would I obtain a copy of his service papers? Many thanks Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen D Posted 16 October , 2006 Share Posted 16 October , 2006 Yup' Sheep Sh*ggers alright. White hat band is another clue. Try Regimental Headquarters Coldstream Guards Wellington Barracks Birdcage Walk London SW1E 6HQ Bribe them with a copy of the photo for the Archives.

Owen D Posted 16 October , 2006 Share Posted 16 October , 2006 I dunno, it's what ex-Grenadiers I knew called them. One of the lads at work who was ex-CG was taken by surprise when I called him that. Must be a Guards thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldstreamer Posted 18 October , 2006 Share Posted 18 October , 2006 you will need a service number to help them find the records - or a rough enlistment date AND no sheep here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Mate Unfortunately I do not have his service number (would it be on a childs birth certificate?) but I have a rough idea as to when he enlisted.
