EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lantern slide depicts members of the Queens Own Cameron Highlanders, a distinguished regiment of the British Army, during the Victorian or Edwardian era. The image showcases the soldiers' traditional Scottish Highland dress, complete with tartan kilts, sporrans, and feather bonnets, adding an authentic touch to their military uniforms. The Queens Own Cameron Highlanders, also known as the 79th Regiment of Foot until 1881, have a rich history that dates back to 1793. Originally raised to defend against the Jacobite threat in Scotland, the regiment saw action in various conflicts, including the Napoleonic Wars, the Crimean War, and both World Wars. This photograph, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of these brave soldiers and their unique military tradition. The black and white image, with its high contrast and sharp details, transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the history, culture, and dedication of the Queens Own Cameron Highlanders. The lantern slide format of this photograph suggests that it was once used for presentations or lectures, possibly in a classroom or educational setting. The intricate details and excellent preservation of the image make it an invaluable addition to any collection focusing on military history, Scottish heritage, or the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
