EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the spirit of bravery and camaraderie during the Battle of St Quentin, also known as the First Battle of Guise, which took place on August 29, 1914. The image depicts the Scots Greys in full charge towards the German lines, with members of a Highland regiment boldly joining the fray by holding onto the stirrups of their galloping comrades. This remarkable scene is said to be an echo of an incident that occurred during the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, when Highlanders famously joined the charge of the Scots Greys by grasping their stirrups. The First Battle of Guise marked the opening clash of the Western Front in World War I and was a significant engagement in the early stages of the conflict. The courage and determination displayed by both the Scots Greys and the Highland regiment during this charge became a symbol of the indomitable spirit of the British Army during the war. This powerful image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during the First World War and the unity and courage that could be found even in the midst of battle.
