Dedicated to Lt Col Sir Charles Russell of the Grenadier Guards, the cover showcases the prestige and tradition associated with the British military during this era. The cover is adorned with a vibrant green background, symbolizing the Grenadier Guards' distinctive uniform color. At the center, a guard stands tall and proud, holding a flag with the Grenadier Guards' insignia. Flanking the guard are two elaborate wreaths of laurel leaves, a symbol of victory and honor. Above the wreaths, a golden medal with the image of a lion and unicorn, the emblems of the United Kingdom, is displayed. The title of the waltz, "The Guards Waltz," is written in elegant script at the top of the cover, with the composer's name, D. Godfrey, inscribed below. The dedication to Lt Col Sir Charles Russell is written in a formal script at the bottom, adding a personal touch to the design. The intricate detailing on the cover, from the guard's uniform to the intricate patterns on the wreaths, reflects the high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that was expected during this period. The use of flags and medals further emphasizes the military theme, making this cover a fascinating representation of the British military's rich history and traditions.
