EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the determined gaze and unyielding spirit of a Corporal of the 1st/9th Battalion Highland Light Infantry (HLI), also known as the Glasgow Highlanders. The image, titled "Hommage du Capitaine Andre. Tres sympathique souvenir" (Very warm memories of Captain Andre), is a poignant tribute to the bond between the soldier and his commanding officer, Captain Andre. Georges Scott, the photographer, captured this moment during the turbulent years of the First World War. Scott, born in 1873, began his career in the late 1890s and worked as a war correspondent for the prestigious news magazine Lillustration during the Balkan Wars of 1912-13. When war broke out in 1914, he joined the French Army and continued his work as an artist and illustrator for the same publication, producing many now-famous works dealing with the Great War. In this photograph, the Corporal of the 1st/9th Battalion HLI is depicted in full marching kit, his rifle slung over his shoulder, and his eyes fixed on the horizon. The image evokes a sense of determination and resilience, a testament to the courage and sacrifice of the soldiers who fought in the trenches of the Western Front. The inscription on the photograph, "Hommage du Capitaine Andre. Tres sympathique souvenir," adds an emotional layer to the image, reminding us of the personal connections and memories that were forged during the chaos and hardship of war. This photograph is not only a valuable historical record but also a moving tribute to the human stories that lie at the heart of military history.
