EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the R.A.F. (Royal Air Force) cricket team at their base in Lahore, India, in the early 20th century. The team members, all identified in the image, include A.C. Rhodes, A.C. Hughes, C.H. Fuller, A.C. Dussant, F.B. Oliver, A.C. Phillips, A.C. Manders, F.O. Addison, A.C. Coker, A.C. Volkes, and A.C. Pickering, A.C. London. The team's uniforms and cricket equipment are a testament to the time period, with the R.A.F. insignia proudly displayed on their shirts. Lahore, then part of British India, was a popular destination for the British military, and the R.A.F. had a significant presence there. The team's cricket matches against local and other military teams would have provided a much-needed break from the rigors of military life. The lush, green expanse of the R.A.F. Aircraft Park in the background adds to the idyllic scene. The history of cricket in the British military is rich and storied, with the game having been introduced to India during the British colonial period. Cricket matches between military teams were a common occurrence, and the camaraderie and friendly competition they fostered played an essential role in building morale and team spirit. This photograph, taken at the R.A.F. Aircraft Park in Lahore, India, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the history and traditions of the R.A.F. and cricket. The team members, all focused and determined, embody the spirit of sportsmanship and the importance of community and teamwork, values that continue to resonate today.
