EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the past, a modest demonstration march takes place in Leytonstone, east London, in 1928. The protesters, members of the Labour League of Ex-Servicemen (L.L.Ex.), are seen marching with determination and unity, their uniforms reminiscent of the Russian Red Army. The soldiers' attire includes the distinctive Soviet badge, bearing the hammer and sickle, symbolizing the merging of industrial and agricultural labor in the service of the working class. The L.L.Ex. was a socialist organization formed by demobilized British soldiers who had served in the First World War. Their aim was to advocate for the rights and welfare of ex-servicemen, many of whom had faced significant challenges in the aftermath of the war, including unemployment, poverty, and homelessness. The adoption of the Red Army-inspired uniform was a deliberate statement of solidarity with the Soviet Union and its revolutionary ideals. The photograph captures the spirit of the time, as political and social tensions were running high in the aftermath of the war and the rise of communist and socialist movements across Europe. The march in Leytonstone was one of many such demonstrations that took place during this period, as various groups sought to assert their political beliefs and demand change. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of a pivotal moment in history, when the ideals of socialism and communism were gaining ground, and the future of Europe hung in the balance. The L.L.Ex. and their demonstrations were a testament to the enduring power of collective action and the determination of individuals to fight for their beliefs, even in the face of adversity.
