EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in a timeless black and white format, this print transports us back to the 1st of December, 1905. Members of the Salvation Army farm colony at Hadleigh gather together, their anticipation palpable as they prepare for an exhilarating piggy-back race. The image showcases a landscape filled with male participants, each exuding movements and associations that reflect both their physical strength and camaraderie. Intriguingly, this photograph offers more than just a glimpse into a sporting event; it provides insight into the social fabric of its time. As we observe these cheerful individuals taking part in this leisure activity, we are reminded of the organized group dynamics within the Salvation Army - an institution deeply rooted in religion and politics. The archival quality of this print allows us to appreciate every detail: from the expressions on people's faces to their meticulously prepared attire. We can almost hear the cheers from those watching on eagerly as these determined men engage in friendly competition. This remarkable piece captures not only a sports race but also serves as a testament to community spirit and unity fostered by organizations like the Salvation Army during that era. It is an evocative reminder of how history intertwines with sport, faith, and collective joy.
