EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of tradition and discipline as the Scots Guard soldiers march in formation during their pay parade in 1969. Part of a larger collection of 1536 photographs taken by the Central Office of Information between 1950 and 1969, this image offers a unique glimpse into the history of the British Army's regiments and corps. The Scots Guard, established in 1633, is one of the oldest and most distinguished regiments in the British Army. The regiment's rich history is reflected in its distinctive uniform, which includes the iconic bearskin hat and the Tartan kilt. In this photograph, the soldiers' smartly pressed uniforms and polished boots are on full display as they march in perfect unison. Pay parades were an essential part of military life, providing soldiers with their wages, as well as an opportunity for inspections and drills. The parade ground, surrounded by trees and buildings, adds to the sense of history and tradition, with the red-coated soldiers standing out against the green foliage. This photograph is a testament to the dedication and discipline of the soldiers of the Scots Guard, who continue to uphold the regiment's proud heritage to this day. The image offers a fascinating insight into military life during the late 1960s, making it an invaluable addition to any military history collection.
