Summary

Description
English: Player's Cigarettes cigarette card showing a scout of The Lovat Scouts in 1900 uniform.

The back of the card reads: "THE LOVAT SCOUTS, 1900

This mounted regiment of Scottish Highlanders was raised in Jan., 1900, by the 16th Lord Lovat. Recruits were chosen for their hardihood and powers of observation; they were equipped with spotting telescopes slung over the right shoulder, as shown in the picture. They took a prominent part in the South African War, first appearing in the Army List as “Lord Lovat’s Corps- Mounted Infantry” and then as “Lovat’s Scouts.” They served during the Great War as dismounted troops, providing groups of highly-trained Corps Observers and snipers. The Lovat Scouts now form one regiment, the only one listed as scouts in the Army List. The picture shows a member of the Lovat Scouts during the South African War, with a typical Boer farmhouse in the background."
