EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intensity and determination of Highland soldiers as they hone their bayonet drill skills during World War One, in the year 1918. The scene unfolds on a muddy training ground, where soldiers dressed in their iconic kilts and tartan bonnets are focused intently on their instructors, their faces set with concentration. Each soldier grips a rifle, its bayonet fixed and ready, as they practice thrusting motions into makeshift sacks or dummy opponents. The sacks, standing in as targets, are arranged in rows, their tops poking out from the ground like the heads of enemies. The soldiers' uniforms are covered in mud, a testament to the rigorous training they undergo to prepare for the battlefield. The frame is filled with a sense of purpose and discipline, as these brave men prepare for the uncertain future that lies ahead. This powerful image offers a glimpse into the daily life of soldiers during the First World War, and the vital role that training played in ensuring their readiness for combat.
