EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of reckoning for The London Scottish Regiment after the daring and decisive charge at Messine Ridge during the First World War. The date was June 7, 1917, and the scene is set in the muddy aftermath of the battle, as the survivors of the regiment gather for a role call. The weary and battle-scarred faces of the soldiers, some with bandaged heads and others carrying makeshift stretchers, bear testament to the brutal realities of trench warfare. The London Scottish, part of the 15th (Scottish) Division, had played a pivotal role in the attack on Messine Ridge, which was a prelude to the larger Battle of Passchendaele. The charge, led by Lieutenant Colonel John Buchanan, involved the regiment advancing across open ground under heavy enemy fire, and resulted in significant casualties. Despite the losses, the charge at Messine Ridge was a turning point in the war, as it allowed the Allied forces to gain ground and put pressure on the German lines. The London Scottish's bravery and determination in the face of adversity are commemorated in this powerful image, which serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers of the First World War. This photograph, taken by an ILN (International News) photographer, is a rare and important historical document, offering a glimpse into the raw and unvarnished realities of war. It is a testament to the courage and resilience of the soldiers who fought in the trenches, and a reminder of the enduring legacy of the First World War in shaping the course of history.
