EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Historic England Archive takes us back in time to the early 20th century, capturing a moment of intense dedication and camaraderie. The image titled "Scrummaging CC46_00132" showcases students from Launceston College in Cornwall as they hone their rugby skills on a wall-mounted scrummage machine within the school's gymnasium. The black-and-white photograph, taken by Marshall Keene and Company between 1931-1939, exudes an air of nostalgia and evokes memories of a bygone era. It serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of sport, recreation, and education that has long been cherished in schools across Britain. In this particular snapshot, we witness young boys engaging in an activity that not only strengthens their physical abilities but also fosters teamwork and discipline. Their determined expressions reveal their commitment to mastering the art of scrummaging - a fundamental aspect of rugby. As we gaze upon this historic scene frozen in time, we are reminded of how sports have always played an integral role in shaping character and building strong communities. This image encapsulates both the innocence and determination found within these young athletes who strive for excellence while forging lifelong friendships through shared experiences on the playing field.
