EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative promotional card invites us to step back in time to Christmas 1916 in Alexandria, Egypt, during the First World War. The image captures the lively atmosphere of an evening at Sailors, Soldiers & Music Hall held at Bourse Hall. Soldiers and sailors, dressed in their uniforms, mingle and socialize, some clustered around the bar, others engaged in animated conversation. The ensigns, proudly displaying their flags, stand tall against the backdrop of the festively decorated hall. The Music Hall, a popular entertainment venue, served as a much-needed respite for the soldiers and sailors stationed in Alexandria during the war. The hall provided a sense of normalcy and camaraderie, offering a brief escape from the harsh realities of the battlefield. The Christmas season added an extra layer of cheer and joy to the proceedings, with the hall adorned with festive decorations and the sound of music filling the air. The card, dated 1916, is a poignant reminder of the human side of war, showcasing the importance of community, connection, and entertainment during a time of great hardship. The image transports us to a bygone era, inviting us to imagine the stories and memories of those who attended the Music Hall that fateful Christmas night in Alexandria.
