EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bravery and determination of the 7th Seaforth Highlanders during the Battle of Bazentin Ridge on the Western Front of World War I. Dated 14th July 1916, in the village of Longueval, France, the image shows a piper of the 26th Brigade leading the troops of the 7th Seaforth Highlanders from the trenches to attack. The piper, with his bagpipes slung over his shoulder, sets the pace for the soldiers as they prepare to advance towards the enemy lines. The tension in the scene is palpable, with the soldiers' focused expressions and the ominous clouds gathering in the background. The photograph captures the raw emotion and intensity of the moment before the attack, with the explosions in the distance serving as a grim reminder of the imminent danger. The 7th Seaforth Highlanders, also known as the 'Seventh' or 'Black Watch,' were a renowned Scottish infantry regiment that saw extensive action during the war. This powerful image is a testament to their courage and the sacrifices made by the Scottish soldiers during the Battle of Bazentin Ridge.
