EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dated 1891, offers a glimpse into the past of the Boys Brigade as they meticulously practiced first aid drills. The Boys Brigade, a social and educational organization for young boys, was founded in Scotland in 1883 by William Smith and Sir Olaf Sinclair, with the aim of providing a structured and disciplined program for boys to develop physical, mental, and spiritual growth. In this image, a group of Boys Brigade members can be seen intently focused on their tasks, each boy taking on a specific role in the drill. The boys, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, display a sense of camaraderie and determination as they work together to save a mock injury victim. The scene is reminiscent of a military drill, with the boys following orders and executing their roles with precision. First aid training was an essential part of the Boys Brigade curriculum, instilling in young boys the importance of being prepared and able to help others in times of need. The organization's commitment to teaching practical skills, such as first aid, was a testament to its forward-thinking approach to youth development. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable historical record of the Boys Brigade in action, highlighting the organization's dedication to providing opportunities for young boys to learn essential skills and build character. The image captures a moment in time, frozen in history, and offers a fascinating insight into the social and educational landscape of the late 19th century.
