EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, presents an evocative scene of the London Scottish Regiment marching through Es Salt during World War I. The image transports us back in time, as soldiers in kilts and bearskins, emblazoned with the regimental badge, stride confidently through the dusty streets of Es Salt, a town located in present-day Jordan. The London Scottish Regiment, a part of the British Army, was formed in 1908 and consisted primarily of Scottish volunteers. During the First World War, they saw action in various theatres, including the Middle East. This photograph, captured in the early 1900s, showcases the regiment's distinctive uniforms and discipline as they make their way through the Middle Eastern landscape. The Edwardian and Victorian era atmosphere is further emphasized by the lantern slide format of the photograph, which was a popular medium for projecting images during that time. The soldiers, often referred to as 'Tommies,' are seen in close formation, their faces displaying a mix of determination and fatigue. The image offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of the British Army during the First World War, as they marched through unfamiliar territory to support the war effort. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of the London Scottish Regiment and the broader context of the British military involvement in World War I. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these soldiers and the significant role they played in shaping the course of history.
