EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a memorable moment during an international gathering of scouts in Alexandria, Egypt, in 1922. The scene shows members of the 1st Alexandria (British) Troop and the 2nd Alexandria (International) Troop coming together for a friendly tea break after an engaging game. The diverse group of scouts represents various nationalities, including Great Britain, America, France, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Greece, Armenia, Egypt, and Turkey. The setting is idyllic, with the scouts gathered around a table laden with tea, cakes, and other treats, under the shade of trees. In the background, steam rises from a nearby field, adding an element of the era's industrial charm. The atmosphere is one of camaraderie and unity, reflecting the spirit of the Entente Cordiale, a period of improved Anglo-French relations that began in the late 19th century. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, was a time of significant cultural, social, and political change. This photograph encapsulates the essence of this era – the spirit of international friendship and cooperation, as represented by the diverse group of scouts from different nations coming together in a shared experience. The image serves as a poignant reminder of a time when the world seemed a little smaller, and the bonds between nations were stronger.
