I'm confident no board member, or their families, served in the Colfstream Guards at any point. 
My paternal grandad was a radio operator in the Green Howards.

My great uncle did his national service in the Horse Guards with Jack Charlton. Don’t think that’s the same regiment though. He used to play for Lincoln City.
