Arthur Connaught Depart Departure Drum Guards Members Overseas Platform Rain Rainy Scots Strathearn

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a poignant moment in history as His Royal Highness Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn (1850-1942), bids farewell to members of the Scots Guards at a rain-soaked station platform. The year is 1910, and the soldiers are departing for Egypt to serve their country overseas. The Duke, dressed in a wet raincoat and hat, gazes intently at the troops as they prepare to board their train. In the background, the rain continues to fall, adding to the sense of urgency and departure. The Scots Guards, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, stand at attention, their drums at the ready. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the past, when the British Army relied on the railway system for transportation and the call to duty could come at any moment. The Duke's expression conveys a mix of pride, sadness, and determination as he watches his men leave for the unknown challenges that await them in Egypt. This image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the military and their families during times of war and conflict.
