EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, hailing from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the Victorian era of the Queens Own Cameron Highlanders regiment. The image showcases a group of soldiers, clad in their traditional Scottish attire, standing in front of a lantern slide projector. Dressed in their iconic tartan kilts, bonnets, and sporrans, these soldiers embody the rich heritage and history of the Queens Own Cameron Highlanders, a regiment with deep roots in Scotland that can be traced back to the late 18th century. The Edwardian period, marked by the reign of King Edward VII from 1901 to 1910, is the era in which this photograph is believed to have been taken. The soldiers, with their stern expressions and upright posture, exude a sense of discipline and readiness. The presence of the lantern slide projector suggests that this may have been a training session or a morale-boosting activity for the troops, who would soon be called to serve in the first World War. The Queens Own Cameron Highlanders played a significant role in the British military during the early 20th century, with their first deployment in World War I taking place in 1914. The regiment's distinctive uniform and proud Scottish heritage made them a formidable presence on the battlefield, and their bravery and dedication were celebrated both at home and abroad. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these soldiers and the regiments like them during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, as well as the pivotal role they played in shaping the course of history. The intricate details of the soldiers' uniforms, the lantern slide projector, and the somber expressions on their faces make this a truly captivating and evocative piece of military history.
