Band Bass Caribbean Double Drummer Feb17 Lions Regiment Statues Wembley 1924


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the West Indian Regiment Band in full regalia, performing at the British Empire Exhibition of 1924 held in Wembley, London. The band, a proud representation of the Caribbean diaspora, is seen here in their distinctive uniforms and colorful costumes, complete with feathers, drums, and brass instruments. The double bass player in the foreground focuses intently on his instrument, while the drummer behind him strikes a pose, both exuding a sense of discipline and pride. The backdrop of the image is dominated by the imposing statues of lions, symbolizing the strength and power of the British Empire. The exhibition, which ran from April to October 1924, showcased the achievements and diversity of the British Empire, attracting millions of visitors from around the world. The inclusion of the West Indian Regiment Band was a testament to the multicultural makeup of the Empire and its far-reaching influence. The 1920s were a time of great change and cultural exchange, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of the era. The West Indian Regiment, which was formed during World War I, was one of several regiments made up of soldiers from the Caribbean, who served in the British military. Their participation in the British Empire Exhibition was a significant moment in the history of the Caribbean diaspora, highlighting their contributions to the Empire and their place within it. This photograph is a poignant reminder of that history and the enduring legacy of the British Empire Exhibition of 1924.
