EDITORS COMMENTS
The Kilted Regiments: Scottish Soldiers Bid Farewell to Home as They Embark on the Train to France to Fight in World War II, September 1939 As the shadows of war loomed over Europe once again, the courage and valor of the Scottish regiments were called upon to defend the British Empire against the threat of German aggression. In this evocative photograph, soldiers from various Scottish regiments, proudly wearing their traditional kilts and uniforms, are seen boarding a train to France, marking the beginning of their journey to the front lines. The Scottish troops had a distinguished history in the First World War, having played a significant role in some of the most pivotal battles, including Ypres, Loos, the Somme, Bapaume, Moeuvres, and Gallipoli. Their unwavering determination and fighting spirit were instrumental in turning the tide of the war in favor of the Allies. As the train departed from the station, the families and loved ones of these brave men watched on, their faces a mix of pride, sadness, and anxiety. The soldiers, many of whom had served in the previous war, knew all too well the hardships and sacrifices that lay ahead. Yet, they went forth with unwavering resolve, knowing that their duty called them to defend their country and uphold the proud traditions of their regiments. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the indomitable spirit of the Scottish soldiers and their unwavering commitment to their country and its people. As they left for the battlefields of France, they carried with them the hopes and dreams of a nation, determined to protect it from the ravages of war.
