Spectators and competitors at a Black Watch sports day, during World War I
National Library of Scotland
A crowd of onlookers at a sports day organised by the Black Watch Regiment. The spectators include some of the competitors, members of the Black Watch who were not taking part and a number of women and children, possibly from a nearby farm, town or village. A day such as this would have provided some light relief for those at the Front. Some of events at this particular sports day included a pillow fight, a rifle grenade competition, a gas helmet race, collecting rings using a bayonet and a children's race.

H.M. watching the Australian sports
National Library of Scotland
King George V is standing in the foreground, watching as soldiers take part in a sports day event. The men taking part are in full uniform and are carrying full packs. The exercise shown here is possibly part of a larger assault course. A large crowd of soldiers watch on as the men are put through their paces. This photograph is thought to have been taken by the British official photographer, John Warwick Brooke. Appointed by the Government and Military, official photographers were encouraged to record positive images of life at the Front. As the authorities were anxious to control how the war was perceived, these images were then often used as propaganda. [Original reads: 'OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN ON THE BRITISH WESTERN FRONT.
