EDITORS COMMENTS
This collection showcases a treasured memento from the past, belonging to 15959 Sergeant W.F. Ritchie of the 17th Battalion Highland Light Infantry. The centerpiece of this assemblage is a well-loved book titled "Battalion Ballads from THE OUTPOST," which offers a glimpse into the daily life and experiences of the soldiers during their time in France. Annotated pages within the book reveal Sergeant Ritchie's personal account of his service, adding a profound sense of history and connection to the reader. Accompanying the book are two precious photographs of Sergeant Ritchie. In one image, he is seen proudly wearing his blue serge uniform, while in another, he is captured in a more personal moment, enjoying time with his beloved daughter and faithful dog. Adding further depth to this collection, there is a banda programme entitled "Very Lights on the opening of First Corps. Headquarters Recreation Hut." This programme is a testament to the camaraderie and community spirit that thrived among the soldiers during their downtime. A rare and intriguing piece of military history, this collection also includes the very first copy of The Outpost, dated February 1915. This copy was auctioned on the parade ground on the 18th of February 1915, in aid of the Belgian Relief Fund. Major Paul was the successful bidder at 4.10 shillings. Despite his victory, Major Paul graciously returned the magazine to the magazine staff to be raffled among the troops. The cover of the magazine bears the signatures of several soldiers, adding an endearing touch to this remarkable collection.
