A howitzer, fondly known as 'Granny', being set up. The gun is surrounded by soldiers, most of whom appear to be involved in the preparation work / INCREDIBLE IMAGES from the First World War featuring a series of Scottish soldiers fighting on the Western Front have resurfaced today on Burns??? night, 100 years since the end of one of the bloodiest conflicts in human history. Images show a group of soldiers at the Battle of the Somme standing up to their knees in mud, while another shows a group of kilted Highland Regiment soldiers on their way to the trenches on the Western Front. More light-hearted pictures from the collection show a lone pilot sat in the cockpit of his plane with his pet fox sat on the nose, with further images showing a group of troops, some from the Highland Regiment, playing a game of basketball with each other as they take some down time / mediadrumworld.com
