EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Cameronians, Scottish Rifles, a distinguished regiment of the British Army, in the early 20th century. The image, taken in 1910, showcases the soldiers in their full regimental dress, proudly displaying their rifles. The Cameronians, also known as the "Queen's Own Cameronians," were a Scottish infantry regiment with a rich history that can be traced back to the late 17th century. The Cameronians were renowned for their distinctive tartan, which was said to have been inspired by the red and black plaid of the Highland Chieftain, Donald Cameron of Lochiel. The regiment's name was derived from the Camerons, a Scottish clan with a long and storied history. The soldiers in this photograph are seen in formation, their faces serious and determined. Each man wears the regimental kilt, complete with the Cameronian tartan, and a red feather bonnet, known as a "Glengarry," adorned with a white cockade. The soldiers also wear brass buttons, epaulets, and other decorative elements on their uniforms, which add to their impressive appearance. The Cameronians served in various conflicts throughout the centuries, including the Napoleonic Wars, the Crimean War, and both World Wars. Their bravery and dedication were recognized with numerous battle honors and awards. This photograph is a testament to the proud and storied history of the Cameronians, Scottish Rifles, and the important role they played in the British military during the early 20th century. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the past and the rich traditions of the Scottish regiments of the British Army.
