EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative team photograph captures the O.C.T.U. (Officers' Training Corps University) rugby team in the 1940s, proudly displaying their jerseys and determined expressions before a challenging match against Fettes College. The OCTU team, composed of student officers in training, stands in two rows, their uniforms adorned with badges and insignia, reflecting their military affiliation. The opposing team, Fettes College, is also represented in the background, forming a huddle in their own distinctive jerseys. The historical context of this image is significant, as the 1940s was a period of great turmoil and change. The Second World War was in full swing, and the spirit of camaraderie and resilience was palpable in the sporting arena as well. Rugby, a popular and physically demanding sport, provided an outlet for students to test their mettle and build team spirit. Despite their best efforts, the O.C.T.U. team was ultimately defeated by Fettes College, with a score of 19 points to 6. However, the image reveals a sense of unity and determination among the players, as they prepare to face their opponents with unwavering resolve. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of sportsmanship, teamwork, and perseverance, even in the face of adversity. This image offers a unique glimpse into the rich history of rugby and college life in the 1940s, and is a valuable addition to any collection of historical sports memorabilia or educational resources. The intricately detailed uniforms, the focused expressions of the players, and the palpable sense of anticipation make this photograph a captivating and evocative piece of visual history.
