Annual Ferry Guard Guards Kilt Kilts Leaving Tartan

EDITORS COMMENTS
A Moment of Military Tradition: Scottish Soldiers Embark on their Annual Training Voyage along the River Thames, 1910 This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment in military history as a group of Scottish soldiers, resplendent in their traditional kilts and tartan uniforms, bid farewell to the shores of London and embarked on their annual training voyage along the iconic River Thames. The year was 1910, and the soldiers, members of the British Army's Scottish regiments, were preparing for their annual training exercises. The soldiers' Scottish uniforms, with their vibrant tartans and intricate designs, stand out against the muted tones of the Thames and the industrial backdrop of London's South Bank. The soldiers' stern expressions and the military precision with which they board the ferry convey a sense of discipline and determination, as they set sail for their training grounds. The Thames, a historic and iconic waterway, has long been a vital transportation hub for the British military. In the early 20th century, the river was a common venue for military exercises and training, with ferries regularly transporting troops to and from their training grounds. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of the British military and its traditions, as well as the important role that the River Thames played in shaping the lives of soldiers during this era. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and dedication of the men and women who have served in the military, and the enduring allure of the Scottish uniform and its connection to the proud and storied history of Scotland.
