EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the poignant moment when gamekeepers of the 7th Cameron Highlanders, a Scottish regiment, bid farewell to their community and their beloved Scottish countryside to answer the call of duty during World War I in 1915. The image showcases a group of kilted gamekeepers, standing proudly in front of a large wooden gate, their faces etched with a mix of determination, sadness, and resolve. The 7th Cameron Highlanders, also known as the 'Pals Battalion,' were a unit of volunteers who enlisted together as friends and neighbors, adding to the emotional significance of their departure. The 7th Cameron Highlanders were renowned for their expertise in gamekeeping, a traditional occupation in the Scottish Highlands. Their unique skill set proved valuable during the war, as they were often tasked with tasks such as camouflaging trenches and setting up traps to protect their comrades from enemy attacks. This photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of these brave men, who left behind their rural communities and their work as gamekeepers to serve their country. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by ordinary men during the First World War and the deep connection between the Scottish people and their land. The image also highlights the camaraderie and sense of unity that existed among the 'Pals Battalions,' as these men embarked on their military journey together, leaving behind their familiar surroundings and their roles as gamekeepers to face the challenges of the battlefield.
