EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment the 2nd Scots Guards bid farewell to the historic Tower of London, marking the beginning of their journey towards the New Forest and the formation of the 7th Division during World War 1. Dated 15 September 1914, the image portrays a line of soldiers, clad in their distinctive tartan kilts and bearskins, marching out of the iconic fortress. With their rifles slung over their shoulders and their horses in tow, they embody the spirit of duty and determination as they embark on this significant military campaign. The ivy-covered walls of the Tower of London serve as a poignant backdrop, symbolizing the rich history and tradition of the British military. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of officers, who lead their men with unwavering resolve. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past as these brave soldiers march off to join the larger army, ready to defend their country and uphold the honor of the 2nd Scots Guards. The destination of their march is the New Forest, where they will set up camp and prepare for the challenges ahead. The 7th Division, which was formed to protect the southern coast of England, would play a crucial role in the early stages of the war. This powerful photograph stands as a testament to the courage and sacrifice of the men and horses of the 2nd Scots Guards, as they left the familiarity of the Tower of London and ventured into the unknown, ready to face the trials of the Great War.
