EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the determined gaze and unyielding spirit of a Corporal of the 1st/9th Battalion Highland Light Infantry, also known as the Glasgow Highlanders. The soldier is depicted in full marching kit, with the Scottish regimental tartan prominently displayed on his kilt. The image bears the inscription "Hommage du Capitaine Andre. Tres sympathique souvenir," translating to "Tribute to Captain Andre. Very warm memories." Georges Scott, the photographer, captured this moment during the tumultuous years of the First World War. Scott, born in 1873, began his career in the late 1890s and honed his skills as a war correspondent for the esteemed French news magazine L'Illustration during the Balkan Wars of 1912-13. When war broke out in 1914, Scott joined the French Army and continued his work as an artist and illustrator for the same prestigious publication. His poignant and evocative works from the Great War have since become renowned for their authenticity and emotional resonance. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during the First World War and the enduring bond between soldiers and their comrades. The inscription on the image adds a personal touch, paying tribute to an unnamed captain named Andre, whose memories remain warm in the heart of the photographer, Georges Scott.
