Brothers by Blood and in Arms, 1915
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant and evocative photograph capturing the unbreakable bond between five brothers and their father, all proudly serving in the Black Watch during the First World War. The image, taken in 1915, features the Goss family: Mr. Wharton, a proud father, and his five sons - Victor-Hosken, Thomas, Albert, Harold, and Percival. Each brother wears the uniform of the Black Watch, a Scottish infantry regiment, signifying their commitment and dedication to their country and their shared military legacy. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by families during the First World War, as these brothers put their lives on the line, not only for their own safety but for the protection of their loved ones and their nation. The image also highlights the sense of camaraderie and unity that existed among soldiers during this time, as the brothers stand together, united in their cause. The Black Watch, also known as the Royal Highland Regiment of Scotland, was one of the most decorated regiments of the British Army during the First World War. The regiment saw action in some of the most significant battles, including the Battle of Loos and the Battle of the Somme. The photograph "Brothers by Blood and in Arms, 1915" is a testament to the bravery and resilience of the Goss family and the countless other families whose lives were forever changed by the events of the First World War. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the unbreakable bonds that can be forged in the most challenging of circumstances. It is a powerful and moving image that continues to resonate with audiences today, as we reflect on the sacrifices made by the men and women who served during the First World War and the enduring impact of their actions on our world today.
