EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Swimming Medal presented to J.H. Watson during the County Borough of Derby Peace Celebrations in 1919. The medal, awarded for his triumphant performance in the Life Saving Competition, is a stunning testament to his swimming prowess and bravery. At the center of the medal, the Derby emblem proudly stands, featuring a majestic deer in a park. The emblem symbolizes the rich history and traditions of the Borough, which had been celebrated with great fervor following the end of the First World War. The Deer in the park represents the peaceful and serene environment of Derby, a stark contrast to the chaos and turmoil of the war years. Watson, the proud champion, is seen holding the medal aloft, beaming with joy and satisfaction. The medal itself is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship, with a golden crown atop, signifying his status as a champion. The blue ribbon attached to the medal adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the image. The presentation of the medal took place on a bustling Derby street, surrounded by a large crowd of spectators. The excitement and anticipation in the air are palpable, as the crowd cheers and applauds for the deserving winner. The sense of community and camaraderie is evident, as everyone comes together to celebrate the triumph of a local hero. This photograph is not only a reminder of the athletic achievements of J.H. Watson but also a snapshot of a bygone era, a time of peace, unity, and celebration in the County Borough of Derby.
