EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of camaraderie and resilience among Armenian boy scouts at the Heliopolis refugee camp in Egypt during the aftermath of the June 1919 Egyptian Riots. The camp, which housed around 3,000-4,000 Armenian refugees, was established following the violent clashes between Egyptian nationalists and the British occupation forces. Amid the challenging conditions, the boys in the camp were organized into scout troops, providing essential services such as bugling, scavenging, and messengering. In this image, a group of scouts is seen gathered around a cookhouse, blowing their trumpets and bugles to signal the start of a meal. Their uniforms, adorned with badges and insignia, embody a sense of pride and discipline. The boys' faces are filled with excitement and focus as they play their musical instruments, creating an air of unity and solidarity within the camp. The Egyptian Riots of 1919 marked the end of the Ottoman rule in Egypt and the beginning of the British protectorate. The establishment of the Armenian refugee camp in Heliopolis was a testament to the human spirit and the resilience of the Armenian community, who had already endured the horrors of the Armenian Genocide during World War I. The image of these boy scouts, with their trumpets and bugles, serves as a poignant reminder of the strength and determination that carried them through their darkest days.
