EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures the spirit of a traditional St. Andrews Day celebration at Eton College in 1935. Mr. and Mrs. Gillingham proudly stand with their son, Anthony, dressed in his school uniform and muddy boots, having participated in the festivities. The Reverend Frank, likely the presiding clergy member for the day, looks on approvingly from the background. The College walls serve as a picturesque backdrop to the scene. The Gillingham family, hailing from the 1930s, embodies the essence of Eton College's rich history and traditions. St. Andrews Day, celebrated on November 30th each year, is a time-honored occasion for pupils and staff to come together in celebration of the College's patron saint. The day is marked by various activities, including games and feasting, which are reflected in the muddy conditions and the warm scarves worn by the attendees. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of Eton College students during the 1930s. The image is a testament to the enduring traditions and the sense of community that have defined Eton College for generations.
