EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during the early days of the First World War, as members of the 1st Cameron Highlanders make their way to the coast in October 1914. The rugged terrain and harsh weather conditions of the Western Front are evident in the background, as the soldiers trudge forward with their equipment. Despite the challenging circumstances, the cooks of the regiment are seen busily preparing food for their comrades, ensuring they are well-fed and nourished for the journey ahead. The 1st Cameron Highlanders, also known as the 'Prince of Wales' Own' regiment, were a renowned Scottish infantry unit that saw action on the Western Front from the beginning of the war. This image offers a poignant reminder of the resilience and determination of the soldiers during this pivotal period in world history, as they faced the unknown and endured the hardships of war." "The photograph, taken by Robert Hunt, was captured on October 5, 1914, and is part of the extensive collection held by the Imperial War Museum's Robert Hunt Library. The image is a testament to the sacrifices made by the men and women of the armed forces during WW1, and serves as an important historical record of this significant time in history." "The 1st Cameron Highlanders, also known as the 'Cameronians,' were a proud and storied regiment with a rich history dating back to the late 17th century. Their distinctive tartan and fiery spirit made them a formidable force on the battlefield, and their contributions to the war effort were invaluable. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into their daily lives and the challenges they faced during their service on the Western Front.
