"The History of the 7th Battalion Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders" by Sandilands et al. is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the experiences and valor of the 7th Battalion of the Cameron Highlanders during World War I, documenting their formation, training, and significant battles in which they participated, such as the Battle of Loos and the Battle of the Somme. The narrative highlights the camaraderie and dedication of its soldiers, showcasing their resilience amid the harrowing challenges of war. The opening portion of the book introduces the context of the battalion's formation just after the outbreak of World War I, when Colonel D. W. Cameron received the go-ahead to recruit men under Lord Kitchener's New Army Scheme. As enthusiasm surged, the battalion quickly gathered recruits, primarily from Scotland, and the training at Inverness was memorable and strenuous, filled with community support and camaraderie. The text reflects on the early days of the battalion and foreshadows the challenges ahead as they prepare to embark for the front lines, establishing a sense of pride in their heritage and excitement for the duty that lies before them.
