The Unveiling of the War Memorial, Port of Spain, Trinidad, 1920
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a significant moment in history - the unveiling of the War Memorial in Port of Spain, Trinidad. Taken by an English photographer from the Royal Commonwealth Society in London, this image transports us back to a time when Trinidad was still a British colony. The scene is filled with dignitaries and officials dressed in their finest attire - tail coats and top hats for men, parasols for women. The steps leading up to the memorial are adorned with flags representing both Britain and the Caribbean. A crowd has gathered to witness this solemn occasion, holding umbrellas to shield themselves from the scorching West Indies sun. The statue itself stands tall and proud as a commemorative symbol honoring those who sacrificed their lives during war. Its presence serves as a reminder of Trinidad's contribution to global conflicts. This photograph not only captures an important historical event but also showcases the colonial influence on Trinidad at that time. It offers us a glimpse into life during the 1920s in this vibrant Caribbean city. As we reflect upon this image today, let us remember those who fought bravely for our freedom while appreciating how far we have come since then.
