EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of departure for Soldiers of the 2nd Scots Guards and the 2nd Gordon Highlanders as they embarked on the SS Lake Michigan on 6th October 1914, marking the beginning of their journey towards the battlefields of the First World War. The SS Lake Michigan, a passenger-cum-troopship, served as an essential transport vessel during the early stages of the war, ferrying troops and supplies across the Atlantic Ocean. The image presents a striking contrast of the soldiers' determined expressions and the serene waters of the Atlantic, reflecting the uneasy calm before the storm of war. The soldiers, a mix of the 2nd Scots Guards in their iconic tartan kilts and the 2nd Gordon Highlanders in their dark uniforms, stand at attention on the deck, their weapons at the ready. The ship's crew members can be seen in the background, ensuring the safety and comfort of the troops during the long voyage. The photograph offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who served during the war, and the vital role that maritime transportation played in the logistical efforts of the Allied Powers. The SS Lake Michigan, and vessels like it, carried the hopes and dreams of the soldiers as they set sail towards an uncertain future, leaving their loved ones behind and embarking on a journey that would forever change the course of history. This photograph, taken from the Imperial War Museum's Robert Hunt Library and available through Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the soldiers and the enduring power of the human will to persevere in the face of adversity.
