Cameron Highlanders Queens Regiment
EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lantern slide depicts the Queens Own Cameron Highlanders, a distinguished regiment of the British Army, during the early 20th century, likely around the time of the First World War. The regiment, founded in 1793, is renowned for its rich history and unique Scottish heritage. The soldiers are dressed in their traditional Highland uniforms, complete with tartan kilts, feathers, and brass buttons. Their stern expressions and disciplined posture convey the seriousness and dedication required of them as members of the military. The Queens Own Cameron Highlanders were part of the British Expeditionary Force that was sent to France in 1914 to defend against the German invasion. They saw action in many major battles, including the Battle of Loos and the Battle of the Somme. Their bravery and resilience in the face of adversity earned them a formidable reputation on the battlefield. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers of the Queens Own Cameron Highlanders during the First World War. The image transports us back in time to the Victorian and Edwardian eras, evoking a sense of nostalgia and appreciation for the history of the British Army and its proud regiments. This lantern slide, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable historical resource that continues to inspire and educate us about the past.
