EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of Boy Scouts in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) during the 1940s, engaging in a wartime collection activity to support the War Fund in the midst of World War II. Dressed in their distinctive uniforms, the scouts are seen cycling along a dusty road, each carrying large baskets or bags attached to their bicycles. The purpose of their outing was to collect waste paper and old tins, which would be recycled and sold for a profit to contribute towards the financial needs of the war effort. The image beautifully encapsulates the spirit of community and resilience during wartime, as young boys took it upon themselves to make a difference through their scouting activities. The scene is reminiscent of a simpler time, with the scouts' bicycles serving as their primary mode of transport and the rugged terrain of Ceylon's roads providing a picturesque backdrop to their noble cause. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and innovations that characterized life during the 1940s.
