EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the excitement and camaraderie of a high jump competition held in Morocco during the early 1920s. The scene is set on a sun-soaked athletics field, where French troops, stationed in Morocco, are participating in the athletic event. The high jump competition is in full swing, with a soldier poised at the starting line, ready to leap over the bar. His comrades and local Moroccan men watch intently, their eyes fixed on the action, cheering and encouraging their friend as he builds up the momentum for his jump. The bar attendants, who are Moroccan men, stand nearby, ready to adjust the height of the bar as needed. The bar is a simple construct, made of wooden poles and a thick, heavy bar. The atmosphere is electric, with the sound of the crowd's cheers and the sight of the soldiers in their uniforms adding to the sense of occasion. This photograph offers a glimpse into the recreational activities of the French troops during their time in Morocco. Despite being far from home, the soldiers found solace in sports and games, and the local Moroccan population was an integral part of these events. The high jump competition is a testament to the shared love of athletics and the camaraderie that existed between the soldiers and the Moroccan people during this period of colonial rule.
