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 Royal Scots Fusiliers regiment. The image showcases a group of soldiers, proudly dressed in their distinctive uniforms, gathered around a lantern slide projector. The soldiers, with their stern expressions and well-groomed appearances, exude a sense of discipline and camaraderie. The Royal Scots Fusiliers, a part of the British Army, can be traced back to 1678, making it one of the oldest infantry regiments in the world. During the Victorian period, the regiment saw significant expansion and modernization, with the adoption of the Fusilier uniform and the introduction of new drill regulations. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of the soldiers during this era. The lantern slide projector, a popular form of entertainment during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, would have provided a welcome distraction from the rigors of military life. The soldiers, gathered around the projector, likely took turns viewing the slides, sharing stories, and bonding over their shared experiences. As we gaze at this photograph, we are reminded of the rich history and traditions of the Royal Scots Fusiliers regiment. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these soldiers during the Victorian period, and later during World War I, as they answered the call to defend their country and uphold the honor of their regiment.
