EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts a group of Sikh officers from the Indian contingent, who had traveled to London to participate in the historic Coronation of King Edward VII in 1902. As they took a break from their duties at their quarters at Hampton Court Palace, these brave soldiers found solace in the traditional game of quoits. The game, which involved tossing metal disks at a peg, was a popular pastime among the military personnel during their leisure hours. The scene at Hampton Court Palace was a daily spectacle, drawing large crowds of onlookers who were intrigued by the exotic presence of the Indian contingent. The Sikh officers, with their distinctive turbans and uniforms, added a unique flair to the Coronation celebrations. The game of quoits not only served as a source of entertainment for the soldiers but also provided an opportunity for the British public to interact with the Indian soldiers, fostering a sense of unity and camaraderie. The Coronation of King Edward VII in 1902 marked a significant moment in British history, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the daily lives of the Indian soldiers who were an integral part of the grand event.
