Charge of the London Scottish
For some reason I think this picture is cursed, a good resolution scan doesn't seem to exist anywhere on the web! We have the first 1918 edition History of the World War by Frank H. Simonds and I thought we could get a good version of the pic on here but it didn't turn out quite right. Better than the others though so here yah go!
The caption reads, "A BAYONET CHARGE BY THE LONDON SCOTTISH: French peasants, when the war began, were amazed at the costume of these British 'savages.' But the valorous deeds of the 'Kilties' soon won for them both fame and friendliness throughout the whole of France"
(Pretty sure one of these braw lads is Harry Lauder's son)
