1. Title: "The Cambridge Volunteers: Amateur Dockworkers during the 1926 General Strike, Dover" This evocative photograph captures a group of volunteers, known as The Cambridge Volunteers or The Light Blue Brigade, working diligently on the docks of Dover during the 1926 General Strike. The volunteers, attired in distinctive berets, pullovers, flannel bags, and voluminous plus-fours, worked as efficient porters and dockers to help keep the port operational amidst the industrial action. The 1926 General Strike was a pivotal moment in British labor history, as workers from various industries across the country walked off their jobs to demand better wages, shorter working hours, and improved working conditions. The strike lasted nine days and affected millions of workers, causing significant disruptions to the economy and daily life. During this time, amateur volunteers like The Cambridge Volunteers stepped in to help keep essential services running. The volunteers' distinctive uniforms, consisting of light blue pullovers, berets, flannel bags, and voluminous plus-fours, made them easily identifiable. Their dedication and hard work were essential in maintaining the flow of goods and supplies through the port of Dover, ensuring that food, fuel, and other necessities reached their destinations. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the community during times of crisis. The Cambridge Volunteers' selfless efforts helped alleviate some of the hardships caused by the strike and demonstrate the power of collective action and solidarity. This historical image offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the social and economic conditions of the time.
