Hello,
Just wanted to share this photo to see if anyone else has the same one. I have been informed that the uniform dates from before or after the 2nd Anglo/Boer War as evidenced by the noticeably curved front opening to the collar. After the war the collar was changed to a higher one.

Hi Judi
Welcome to the forum, sorry for delay, I missed this post.
I have attached a few uniforms regarding the Coldstream Guards.
I didn't find your image. Hope this helps?
The 1st image looks close to your original, especially the guardsman on the left with regards to your mention of collar configuration - 1870 to 1880s perhaps?
The 2nd image is Anglo Boer War and the 3rd guardsman on the right also has a similar collar configuration, so your image may be 2nd Boer war. I would guess your mans uniform is between 1870 to 1902 but that is only my humble opinion. Apologies for not being precise.


You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.
Best regards,
Dave
