EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of respite for Scottish soldiers of the 1st Horse Regiment during their landing at Suvla Bay, Gallipoli, in August 1915. The image, titled "The Scottish Horse bivouacking on the beach at Lala Baba," depicts the soldiers and their horses gathered on the sandy shore, with the distinctive hill of Lala Baba looming in the background. The serene scene belies the danger that lurked nearby, as the beach was under constant shell fire from a 6-inch Turkish gun. The soldiers, some with their heads down, others engaged in conversation, appear to be making the best of their situation, taking a brief moment to rest before continuing their advance. The horses, too, seem to sense the tension, with some looking alert and others relaxing in the sand. The photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the harsh realities of trench warfare during World War I, as the Scottish soldiers braved the unknown in the Dardanelles campaign. This historical image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during this pivotal moment in world history.
