EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the determined gaze and unyielding spirit of W.A.L. Fletcher, better known as 'Flea,' as he prepared for the prestigious Varsity Boat Race representing Oxford University Boat Club between 1890 and 1893. The image transports us back in time to the era of rowing's early beginnings, showcasing the dedication and grit required to compete at the highest level. Fletcher's impressive tenure with the Oxford University Boat Club earned him a place in the Varsity Boat Race, an annual competition between the universities of Oxford and Cambridge that began in 1829. The race is considered one of the most prestigious and historic events in the world of rowing. Fletcher's nickname, 'Flea,' may have been derived from his small stature or perhaps his tenacious and agile rowing style. Regardless of its origin, the name underscores his unique character and unwavering commitment to the sport. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to the rich history of rowing and the enduring tradition of the Varsity Boat Race. It serves as a testament to Fletcher's accomplishments and the countless hours he dedicated to honing his craft, inspiring future generations of rowers and athletes alike.
