EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph print showcases the Kings Own Scottish Borderers (KOSB), a renowned regiment of the British Army, in the year 1913. The image captures the regiment's distinctive uniform, adorned with the Scottish tartan and the regimental crest, which features the thistles and the motto 'You are not alone.' The regimental flags, proudly displayed, bear the emblems of the KOSB and the Union Jack. The KOSB, also known as the 'Elder Sister Regiment of the Line,' has a rich history, with its origins tracing back to the early 17th century. The regiment saw action in various international deployments, including colonial wars and foreign conflicts. Some of the most notable engagements in which the KOSB participated are listed on this print. These include the Battle of Minden in 1759, the Siege of Egmont-op-Zee in 1622, the Battle of Paardeberg in 1900, and the campaigns in Chitral and Tirah in 1895. The regiment's valor was also recognized in the Battle of Martinique in 1809 and the Battle of Afghanistan in 1879. The KOSB's bugler, dressed in his full regalia, stands at attention, holding a bugle, adding an air of solemnity and tradition to the scene. This photograph print is a testament to the regiment's storied past and the sacrifices made by its members in the name of duty and country. The KOSB's legacy continues to be celebrated in Scotland and beyond, as a symbol of Scottish pride and military prowess.
