EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of pride and excitement as Scouts from Bathurst, the capital city of the British colony of Gambia in West Africa, take part in the Coronation Day parade on 2 June 1953. The Queen Victoria Recreation Ground in MacCarthy Square is the setting for this historic event, as the young Scouts, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, proudly wear their hats and salute the crowd. The Scouting movement had been established in Gambia since the late 1920s, and the organization played an important role in promoting discipline, community spirit, and physical fitness among the young people of the colony. The Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II marked a significant moment in the history of the British Empire, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of African Scouts celebrating the occasion with their British counterparts. The image transports us back to the 1950s, a time of colonialism and imperial power, and invites us to reflect on the complex and often contested history of this period.
