EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - Scottish Highlanders of the British Expeditionary Force arriving at Boulogne, France during the First World War in 1914. The image showcases a crowd of civilians eagerly welcoming these brave men as they step off the troopship onto French soil. The Scottish Highlanders stand tall and proud, their kilts and traditional attire representing their rich heritage. Waving to the cheering crowd, they exude strength and determination amidst the chaos of war. Their weapons held tightly in hand serve as a reminder of the harsh reality they face on the battlefield. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this powerful scene, emphasizing both unity and contrast against the backdrop of Boulogne's waters. As one gazes upon this photograph, it is impossible not to feel a sense of admiration for these courageous soldiers who left their homeland behind to fight for their country's cause. Preserved through time by HW Wilson's illustration from "The Great War" this image serves as an important historical artifact that transports us back to an era defined by sacrifice and resilience. It reminds us of those who fought valiantly during World War I, leaving an indelible mark on our collective memory. As we reflect upon this poignant snapshot from history, let us honor those who served with unwavering courage while acknowledging both the triumphs and tragedies that shaped our world a century ago.
