EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in Adelaide, Australia during the 1930s. The image showcases the Parade of Boy Scouts and Girl Guides, where thousands of young scouts gathered to celebrate their commitment to service and camaraderie. In this particular snapshot, we witness an extraordinary encounter between His Royal Highness The Duke of York, who would later become King George VI, and a young scout. The photograph exudes a sense of pride as the Duke extends his hand for the Scout Handshake - a symbol of trust and unity among scouts worldwide. Dressed in their distinctive uniforms, these boys stand tall with hats perched on their heads while eagerly awaiting this special interaction with royalty. The grandstand behind them is filled with spectators from all walks of life who have come together to witness this historic occasion. It is evident that this parade holds great significance not only for the scouts but also for the entire country. Preserved within the pages of Major J. T. Gorman's book "George VI, King and Emperor" this print serves as a reminder of an era when scouting played an integral role in shaping young minds and fostering community spirit. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, it transports us back to a time when tradition met modernity amidst the backdrop of Adelaide's vibrant streets. It encapsulates both personal connections forged through simple gestures like handshakes as well as larger historical narratives surrounding monarchy and national identity.
