Break Chat Chatting Colleague Colleagues Colonel Rest Scots Tammy Watch
EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the harsh realities of the Western Front during World War One, a moment of respite is captured in this evocative photograph. Circa 1916, a colonel of the Black Watch, one of the prominent Scottish regiments of the British Army, takes a break from the relentless march of war to engage in a friendly chat with a colleague. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms and holding their equipment, are seen enjoying a moment of camaraderie during a sports break. The Black Watch, also known as the Royal Highland Regiment of Canada, was formed in 1914 and saw extensive action on the Western Front. The image offers a poignant reminder of the human element of the Great War, as these brave men found solace and connection amidst the chaos and hardships of the battlefield. This historical photograph, taken during a time of great adversity, is a testament to the resilience and camaraderie of the soldiers who fought in the First World War.
