EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Strike Sure: A Piece of WWI History - The London Scottish Regiment Other Ranks Badge" This photograph showcases a historic WWI Other Ranks badge belonging to the London Scottish Regiment. The badge, now transformed into a brooch, is embossed with the Battle Honour "S. Africa 1900-02" and the regimental motto "Strike Sure." During the First World War, the London Scottish Regiment, also known as the 1st/1st London Regiment (London Scottish), was one of the most prominent and respected regiments in the British Army. Originally formed in 1859 as a volunteer regiment, it was later mobilized for active service in the South African War from 1900 to 1902. The Battle Honour "S. Africa 1900-02" commemorates the regiment's gallant actions during that conflict. The motto "Strike Sure" is a call to action, urging soldiers to be decisive and confident in their actions. This badge served as a symbol of pride and unity for the other ranks (common soldiers) of the London Scottish Regiment, reminding them of their shared history and the values they fought for. The badge's transformation into a brooch not only preserves its history but also allows it to be worn as a personal tribute to the regiment and its legacy. This commemorative ware is a testament to the enduring spirit of the London Scottish Regiment and the sacrifices made by its soldiers during the First World War. The London Scottish Regiment's rich history spans over a century, with the regiment seeing action in various conflicts, including the First and Second World Wars, and the Korean War. Today, it continues to serve as an integral part of the British military, with its modern incarnation, the London Regiment, maintaining the traditions and values of its storied past.
