EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the stoic presence of a Black Watch soldier on sentry duty in Salonika, Greece, during World War I. The image, taken in 1917, depicts Robert Houston, a Scottish soldier serving with the Royal Scots Fusiliers (Royal Scottish Regiment), who were part of the 1st Division of the British Expeditionary Force. The Black Watch, also known as the Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada, was a Scottish infantry regiment that saw active service during the war. However, it is important to note that the soldier in this photograph is not from the Canadian regiment, but rather from the Scottish Royal Scots Fusiliers. The photograph shows the soldier standing tall and alert, his rifle at the ready, as he scans the surrounding terrain for any signs of danger. The rugged landscape of Salonika, with its rocky terrain and barren trees, serves as a stark reminder of the harsh conditions faced by soldiers during the war. Robert Houston, the photographer, captured this moment with great skill, using the natural light to highlight the soldier's uniform and the textures of the landscape. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during the First World War, and the vigilance required to keep their comrades and themselves safe. This photograph is an important historical document, offering a glimpse into the daily life of soldiers during the war. It is also a testament to the bravery and resilience of the men and women who served in the armed forces during this time. The image is a valuable addition to any military or historical collection, and a reminder of the rich history of the Scottish regiments that served in the Great War.
