EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Alfieri, we are transported back to the intense rivalry between Oxford and Cambridge at the Officers Training Corps tournament held in Cambridge on June 12,1923. The image showcases Lieutenant Colonel C H Wilkins from Oxford engaging in a fierce bayonet fight with 2nd Lieutenant A T McCullagh representing Cambridge. As these two army officers clash head-on, their determination is palpable. Wilkins executes a clever parry, showcasing his skill and agility in combat. The tension of the moment is frozen in time as both men fiercely compete for victory. The photograph not only captures the physicality of the contest but also symbolizes the historic competition between these prestigious universities. It serves as a testament to the dedication and discipline required by soldiers in training while highlighting the spirit of healthy rivalry that exists within academic institutions. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia to this snapshot from Europeana Photography's collection, transporting us back to a defining era of British history. With their head guards firmly secured and sticks poised for action, these combatants embody bravery and honor synonymous with military service. Alfieri's masterful composition immortalizes this pivotal moment where strength meets strategy on an OTC battlefield. This remarkable piece invites viewers to reflect upon not only the intensity of athletic contests but also celebrates camaraderie forged through shared experiences within armed forces around the world.
