EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the spirit of bravery and determination displayed by the Territorial Corps of the British Army during the chaotic streets of the First World War. The scene, painted by R. Caton Woodville for the Illustrated London News' special panorama supplement, Great War Deeds, in 1915, portrays the London Scottish regiment leading the charge against the German enemy. Dressed in their iconic kilts and tartan, these soldiers demonstrate unwavering courage as they advance through the smoky, explosive battlefield. The Territorial Corps, made up of part-time soldiers, played a crucial role in the early stages of the war, providing valuable manpower and experience. Their heroic actions in France helped set an example for all those fighting on the front lines. Amidst the destruction and skirmishes, the London Scottish regiment made an indelible mark on British military history. This painting offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by ordinary men during the Great War. The chaos of the battlefield is palpable, with buildings crumbling in the background and the sound of gunfire and explosions echoing through the streets. Despite the danger, the soldiers press on, their faces etched with determination and resolve. The Territorial Corps' bravery and deeds during the First World War continue to be celebrated as a testament to the human spirit and the enduring power of courage in the face of adversity.
