EDITORS COMMENTS
Armistice Day in the Seychelles: A Company of Blue Jackets and Royal Marines Parading (circa 1920s-30s) This evocative photograph captures the solemn and patriotic atmosphere of Armistice Day celebrations in the Seychelles during the 1920s or 30s. The scene is set at a bustling parade, where a company of Blue Jackets and Royal Marines proudly march in formation, their crisp uniforms adorned with medals and insignia. The significance of the day is underscored by the presence of Scouts lining both sides of the flagpole. Dressed in their distinctive uniforms, they stand at attention, their young faces reflecting a sense of reverence and respect. However, only one line of Scouts is visible in this image, adding an intriguing element of mystery to the photograph. The flagpole stands tall and proud, its flag fluttering gently in the breeze. The flag, which bears the Union Jack, symbolizes the strong connection between the Seychelles and the United Kingdom during this era. The Marines and Scouts, embodying discipline and loyalty, pay tribute to the sacrifices made during the Great War and reaffirm their commitment to upholding the values of service and duty. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of the Seychelles and the role of the military and Scouting movements during this period. The image is a poignant reminder of the enduring spirit of camaraderie, patriotism, and resilience that defined the Armistice Day celebrations of the 1920s and 30s.
