EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, pays a visit to the 4th and 5th Battalion of the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders at their camp in Stobs, Hawick, in Scotland, during the year 1955. The Duke, dressed in a formal morning suit, stands proudly among the kilted soldiers of the regiment, his expression serious and attentive. The focus of the image, however, is on the poignant moment as the Duke presents a Long Service and Good Conduct Medal to the Commanding Sergeant Major (CSM) McDonald. The CSM, clad in his full regimental uniform, salutes smartly as he receives the award from the Duke, a proud smile on his face. The medal, with its distinctive blue and white ribbon, symbolizes the dedication and loyalty of the soldier to the regiment and the Crown. The Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders, a storied regiment with a rich history, were formed in 1793 and have seen action in numerous conflicts, including the Boer War, World War I, and World War II. The regiment's connection to the Scottish Highlands and its distinctive kilted uniform have made it a beloved and iconic part of Scotland's military heritage. This photograph captures a moment of history, a meeting of tradition and modernity, as the Duke of Edinburgh honors the long service and good conduct of one of the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders, a testament to the enduring bond between the monarchy and the military.
