EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the moment Scottish entertainer and music hall comedian, Harry Lauder (1870-1950), shared a special moment with his only son, John, in June 1915. Harry, an indefatigable recruiter for the British war effort during World War I, is seen here with his son in the uniform of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders (8th Argyllshire Battalion). The elder Lauder traveled extensively throughout Scotland and northern towns, leading a pipe band to stimulate recruitment. John Lauder, a Cambridge-educated officer, had rejoined his territorial regiment at the outbreak of war. In this image, published in The Sketch, he is proudly displayed alongside his father, with a brief report that he had been wounded. Tragically, John would not survive the war. He was killed in action on the 28th of December 1916, at Pozieres. This poignant portrait of a father and son, united in their patriotic duty, serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war. Harry Lauder's unwavering commitment to recruitment efforts and the sacrifice of his son underscore the profound impact of the First World War on families and communities across the United Kingdom.
