EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a delightful moment in history, as the children of British servicemen and officials stationed at the 1st Alia Camp in Port Said, Egypt, prepare to take the stage for a pantomime performance in 1933. The children, dressed in colorful costumes and outfits, exude excitement and anticipation as they gather backstage. The British military presence in Egypt during the 1930s was a significant part of the colonial era in North Africa, with Port Said serving as a major hub for the British Empire's activities in the region. The children in this photograph, with their diverse mix of nationalities and backgrounds, reflect the multicultural nature of the British community overseas. The pantomime performance, a popular form of entertainment during this era, would have provided a much-needed distraction from the daily rigors of life in a military camp and offered a sense of normalcy and joy to the children and their families. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the human side of history, showcasing the resilience and adaptability of children growing up in a foreign land.
