EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of the First World War's March Past and Medal Presentation ceremony on the Western Front, circa 1917. Scottish troops, clad in their distinctive uniforms with shortened trousers to accommodate the muddy conditions of the trenches, march in perfect formation towards General Sir Ivor Maxse. The General, a prominent figure in the British Army during the war, stands tall and resolute, presenting medals to the brave soldiers as they salute in return. The scene is one of pride, honor, and respect, as the soldiers are recognized for their valiant efforts and sacrifices on the battlefield. The March Past ceremony was a significant event during wartime, allowing troops to showcase their discipline and unity, while also providing a morale boost for those who had not yet been awarded medals. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the Scottish soldiers during the Great War and the importance of recognizing their bravery and dedication.
