EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and uncertainty of the Western Front during World War I, the London Scottish Troops, now a distinguished company of The London Regiment, marched forward with unwavering determination. In this evocative photograph taken circa 1916, the soldiers can be seen in their tartan kilts and berets, each carrying the essentials for the arduous journey to the trenches. Their faces exhibit a mix of resolve and apprehension, as they prepared to face the unimaginable horrors that awaited them. The London Scottish Troops, with their proud Scottish heritage, brought a unique identity to the battlefield. Yet, they were not immune to the harsh realities of war. The great traditions they carried with them were not just symbols of their heritage, but a source of strength and unity in the face of adversity. The individual feats of heroism displayed by these brave men would be etched in history, serving as a testament to their courage and sacrifice. As they set off on this fateful day, a divisional order reminded them of the pride they represented, urging them to uphold the traditions of their unit. The order continued, "The great traditions of which we were all so proud were maintained, while the individual feats of heroism will be handed down to history." With this thought in their minds, the London Scottish Troops continued their march towards the trenches, their spirits undeterred by the challenges that lay ahead. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the indomitable spirit of the soldiers who fought in the trenches during World War I, and the lasting impact their sacrifices had on history.
