Campaigning Highlander Khaki Proof Rain Rainproof Scots Watch Waterproof Weatherproof
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the resilience and determination of a Highlander soldier during the turbulent times of the First World War in 1915. The Scottish soldier, dressed in full campaigning kit, stands sentry-go in the muddy trenches, shielding himself from the relentless rain with a rainproof hat. His outfit consists of a khaki apron and short ankle-puttes, replacing the regulation spats to better navigate the wet and slippery terrain. The soldier's gaze is fixed ahead, maintaining a watchful eye over the battlefield, despite the harsh weather conditions. The rainwater beads on the brim of his hat, adding an extra layer of protection against the elements. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the unwavering spirit of the soldiers who braved the extreme weather and unimaginable challenges of the Western Front during the Great War. This photograph, taken by the Illustrated London News Ltd and sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the daily life and struggles of the soldiers during this pivotal moment in history.
