EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history - World War I: Egypt. In the vast desert landscape, two companies of colonial Scots stand proudly alongside the Australian contingent of the British Army. The Scottish flag flutters high above their tents, symbolizing their unity and resilience amidst the turmoil of war. The Great Pyramids provide a breathtaking backdrop to this scene, reminding us that even in times of conflict, ancient wonders endure. The sepia tones lend an air of nostalgia to the image, transporting us back to 1917 when this photograph was taken. Mounted on horseback, these brave soldiers embody courage and determination as they face unknown challenges in North Africa. Their presence highlights the global nature of World War I and how nations from around the world came together to fight for a common cause. While we may not know which specific company is depicted here or its exact location within Egypt, what remains evident is their unwavering commitment to duty and sacrifice. This print serves as a poignant reminder of those who served during this tumultuous period in history.
