Group of youthful admirers. Lessons are interrupted to enable the children to offer their welcome. Frances admiration for the Indian troops is absolutely boundless. Wherever they go they are given bouquets of fresh flowers, while the people stand at their doorways with baskets of fruit, which the men are invited to help themselves. The Indians, in their turn, are delighted at the reception accorded them and are in the highest spirits. Circa October 1914

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a heartwarming moment during the tumultuous times of World War One. A group of youthful admirers, schoolchildren with beaming smiles on their faces, interrupt their lessons to offer a warm welcome to Indian troops. Among them is Frances, whose admiration for these brave soldiers knows no bounds. Wherever these Indian troops go, they are showered with tokens of appreciation. Bouquets of fresh flowers are presented to them while people eagerly stand at their doorways holding baskets filled with delicious fruits. The men graciously help themselves to this generous offering from the locals. The joy and gratitude exchanged between the children and the soldiers is palpable in this image. The Indians are delighted by such a warm reception and it lifts their spirits amidst the conflict they face daily. Their turbans symbolize their rich cultural heritage as they stand side by side with young clapping hands that represent hope for a better future. Taken circa October 1914, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of unity and humanity prevailing even in times of war. Bernard Grant's lens has immortalized this touching interaction between two different worlds brought together by compassion and respect. As we look back on history through Memory Lane Prints' collection, let us remember not only the battles fought but also these small moments that remind us of our shared humanity across borders and cultures.
