EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from 1917, we witness a powerful scene of courage and determination during the First World War. The image showcases a group of Scottish soldiers, proudly adorned in their traditional Highland regalia, fearlessly advancing on the battlefield. As they march forward with unwavering resolve, their bagpipes fill the air with the iconic tune of "The Campbells Are Coming" echoing through the chaos and destruction. This photograph captures a pivotal moment at the Battle of Delville Wood when pipers played this stirring melody to boost morale amidst intense fighting. Their music served as an anthem of bravery for all who heard it, instilling hope and inspiring acts of heroism in the face of adversity. The composition beautifully portrays both the physicality and spirit of these remarkable men. Their expressions reveal a mix of determination and vulnerability as they navigate through explosions and bombings that threaten their lives at every step. Yet, undeterred by danger or risk, they press forward united by their shared purpose: defending country and comrades alike. This image is not just a testament to individual bravery but also serves as a reminder of Scotland's proud military heritage. It immortalizes those who fought valiantly on foreign soil while honoring their indomitable spirit that continues to resonate today. With its historical significance captured within each frame, this print stands as an enduring symbol commemorating those who sacrificed everything for freedom during one of history's darkest chapters – The Great War.
