Now that we have the attention of a couple of true connoisseurs of British English, I have a question: HM the Queen has four household guards on foot and 2 mounted ones. The origins of the Scotch, Welsh, and Irish guards are obvious even to me. I also can deduce, that the Coldstream Guard must be from England east and south of borders and waters respectively. But why the term of Coldstream?
