EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history as Canadian Highlander soldiers, known as Kilties, enter the 71st Regiment Armory in New York City during July of 1917. The image showcases a group of men and women dressed in traditional Scottish kilts and military uniforms, proudly marching with the British flag waving above them.
The Highlander regiments were in the United States for "British Recruiting Week," aiming to encourage enlistment in World War I. The atmosphere is filled with patriotism and determination as these brave individuals make their way into the armory, ready to serve their country.
The crowd gathered outside watches on with admiration and respect for these soldiers who have traveled far from Canada to support the war effort. The image exudes a sense of unity and solidarity among nations during this tumultuous time in history.
As we reflect on this snapshot from over a century ago, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who served bravely during World War I. This photo serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and dedication displayed by these Canadian Highlanders as they answered the call to duty.
