EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures the moment when Scout Leader, Harold Gillies, led the Greek athletic contingent at the 1948 London Olympics, marking a poignant and historic occasion. The image, taken at Wembley Stadium during the summer of 1948, showcases Scout, Harold Gillies, proudly holding the Greece sign in front of the Greek athletic contingent as they make their entrance into the prestigious Olympic Games. The Olympics of 1948 were particularly significant as they marked the revival of the Olympic Games after a 12-year hiatus due to the Second World War. The event served as a symbol of unity, hope, and resilience in the aftermath of the war. The presence of the Greek contingent was especially noteworthy, as Greece was the birthplace of the Olympic Games and had a rich athletic tradition. Harold Gillies, an Englishman, had been invited to lead the Greek contingent due to his exceptional work as a Scout Leader, which included organizing a Scout camp in Greece prior to the war. His leadership and dedication to Scouting made him an ideal choice to lead the Greek athletes into the Olympic Stadium. The photograph is a testament to the enduring spirit of Scouting and its ability to transcend borders and bring people together in times of need. It is a powerful reminder of the role that Scouting played in the post-war era and the impact it had on the Olympic Movement." (C) The Scout Association / Mary Evans, from Mary Evans Prints Online.
