EDITORS COMMENTS
A Tradition-Filled Day at Eton School, Berkshire: Roll Call of Etonians on 4 June 1922 This evocative photograph captures a special moment in the history of Eton School, a renowned public institution located near Windsor, Berkshire, England. The scene unfolds on 4 June 1922, as a procession of boats makes its way towards the shore, filled with young men dressed in their best attire, hats at the ready. The air is thick with anticipation and excitement as the annual Roll Call of Etonians event is about to commence. The tradition of the Roll Call dates back to the early days of Eton School, with its origins rooted in the 15th century. It is a time when Old Etonians, former students, return to their alma mater to reconnect with their peers and reminisce about their time spent at the prestigious institution. The event is a testament to the enduring bonds formed during their years at Eton, as well as a celebration of the school's rich history and tradition. As the sun begins to set over the picturesque town of Windsor, the atmosphere is heightened by the promise of a spectacular firework display. The men, dressed in their top hats and toppers, stand proudly in the foreground, their faces reflecting a sense of nostalgia and camaraderie. The boys, eagerly watching the proceedings, are a reminder of the next generation of Etonians who will carry on the tradition. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when education was a privilege reserved for the select few. The racial and social types depicted in the image are a reflection of the diverse student body of the 1920s, a decade marked by change and progress. The Roll Call of Etonians on 4 June 1922 stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of this prestigious institution, a symbol of the unity and camaraderie that transcends time and continues to inspire generations.
