Ex-Servicemans Bar at Beykoz, Istanbul, Turkey - Keeping the Flag Flying (1923) This evocative photograph captures the lively atmosphere of the Ex-Servicemans Bar at Beykoz, Istanbul, Turkey, in 1923. Located on the shores of the Bosphorus, the bar was a popular gathering place for British and Allied sailors on their shore leave during the early 1920s. The image shows a group of sailors, dressed in their uniforms, gathered around tables, engaged in animated conversation or enjoying a drink. The bar's decor is simple yet welcoming, with wooden tables and benches, and a large British flag proudly flying above the establishment. The bar's exterior is visible through the open windows, revealing a bustling scene of activity. The 1920s, also known as the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties, were a time of great cultural and social change. The aftermath of World War I and the emergence of new technologies, such as radio and cinema, led to a sense of excitement and liberation. For the sailors stationed in Istanbul, the Ex-Servicemans Bar provided a much-needed respite from the rigors of naval life. The photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when the world was changing rapidly, and the camaraderie and spirit of the Ex-Servicemans Bar at Beykoz, Istanbul, Turkey, remained a constant. The flag flying high above the bar symbolizes the enduring bond between the sailors and their homeland, a reminder of the shared history and traditions that connected them despite the vast distances that separated them.
