EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lantern slide depicts the Queens Own Cameron Highlanders during World War 1, a proud and storied regiment of the British Army with a rich history dating back to the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The Highlanders, dressed in their iconic tartan uniforms and bearing their distinctive leather-crested Glengarry bonnets, stand at attention in this black and white image. Their determined expressions and sharp military posture convey a sense of discipline, courage, and unwavering loyalty. The Queens Own Cameron Highlanders, also known as the 79th Regiment of Foot until 1881, were first raised in 1793 and saw action in numerous conflicts, including the Napoleonic Wars and the Boer War. During World War 1, they fought valiantly on the Western Front, particularly at the Battle of Loos in 1915 and the Battle of Arras in 1917. This evocative lantern slide, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. It transports us back to a time of bravery, honor, and sacrifice, as these brave soldiers prepared for the challenges that lay ahead in the Great War. The image is a poignant reminder of the extraordinary men and women who served in the military during this pivotal period in history.
