EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the 4th Battalion of the Seaforth Highlanders Memorial Cross stands proudly against the backdrop of Dingwall, Scotland's picturesque railway station. Erected in memory of the battalion's fallen soldiers during the Battle of Cambrai in World War I, the cross was brought over from France in 1924 and meticulously placed near the station by the 4th Seaforth Re-Union Club. The Battle of Cambrai, fought between November 20 and December 7, 1917, was a significant engagement in the Western Front of World War I. The 4th Battalion of the Seaforth Highlanders, part of the British Expeditionary Force, played a crucial role in this battle, which marked the first major use of tanks in combat. Tragically, many lives were lost during the fierce fighting, leaving a deep sense of sorrow and loss among the soldiers and their families. The Memorial Cross, a rare and unusual tribute, was designed to honor the memory of these brave men. The cross, adorned with intricate railings and plaques, bears the names of the fallen soldiers, immortalizing their sacrifice for their country. The image captures the somber yet resilient spirit of the community, coming together to remember and honor their loved ones. The photograph transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich history of the Highlands of Ross and Cromarty during the aftermath of the Great War. The Memorial Cross remains a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the 4th Battalion of the Seaforth Highlanders and the enduring bond between the community and its soldiers.
