The Summer Manoeuvres. Route Marching- Fall in
A form of Peace Manoeuvres adopted by armed forces to exercise troops and allow them to make up plans of the countryside that they march in. They march for between 8 and 10 miles in 2 1/2 hours. The 78th Highlanders or Rosshire Buffs have halted to allow the men a brief rest and some have asked leave to fall out. They take advantage of an inn near by but this catches the eye of superior powers and a sergeant and corporal are despatched to bring the delinquents back to the ranks; the bugle signals the fall in

78th Armed Buffs Bugle Country Side Exercise Forces Highlanders Manoeuvres Marching Peace Route
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts a scene from The Summer Manoeuvres, a form of peace manoeuvres adopted by armed forces to exercise troops and familiarize them with the countryside they would be marching in during wartime. In this image, the 78th Highlanders, also known as the Rosshire Buffs, have momentarily halted their route march to allow the men a brief respite. Some soldiers have taken advantage of the nearby inn, but their actions have not gone unnoticed by their superiors. The year is not specified in this historical photograph, but it is estimated that the troops are marching between 8 and 10 miles in 2 1/2 hours. The serene countryside setting is a stark contrast to the military discipline and order that is about to be reinstated. The bugle call echoes through the air, signaling the fall in, and two soldiers, a sergeant and a corporal, are despatched to bring the delinquent soldiers back to the ranks. The men quickly oblige, knowing that the rigors of military life demand their full attention and commitment. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of soldiers during military manoeuvres, a time when they honed their skills and prepared for the challenges of war. The 78th Highlanders, with their distinctive tartan uniforms and proud bearing, add an extra layer of intrigue and historical significance to this image.
