EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the image of a Pioneer Sergeant of The Scots Guards, proudly wearing the distinctive red uniform and bearskin hat, which despite being issued in 1831, became a source of controversy for the regiment. The Scots Guards had long been known as such, but due to the adoption of bearskins, they were forced to assume the title Scots Fusilier Guards from 1832 to 1877. The Sergeant is depicted carrying a large pack and a pickaxe, signifying his role as a pioneer soldier. Pioneers were essential members of the military brigade, responsible for preparing the way for the main body of troops by clearing obstacles, building roads, and fortifications. The uniform of the Scots Guards, with its distinctive red coat, white facings, and black collar and cuffs, is adorned with various insignia, including the regimental badge, a thistle, and the Queen's cypher. The bearskin hat, with its tall plume, adds an air of grandeur and tradition to the ensemble. This photograph, taken in 1866, offers a glimpse into the rich history of The Scots Guards and the evolving nature of military uniforms and traditions. The image of the Pioneer Sergeant, with his determined expression and the tools of his trade at his side, serves as a reminder of the crucial role played by pioneer soldiers in the British Army.
