Looking here:

(http://www.army.mod.uk/coldstreamguards/history.htm)
will lead you to a history of the regiment which tells you how the regiment
was formed:
"The town of Coldstream, because the General did it the honour to make it
the piece of his residence for some time hath given title to a small company of
men whom God hath made instruments of Great Things; and though poor, yet
honest as ever corrupt Nature produced into the world, by the no dishonourable
name of Coldstreamers."
They may also attempt to persuade you to join there number, which temptation
I urge you to resist.
All the best,
Lawrence
