EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back to the year 1917, amidst the chaos of World War One. The image showcases RSR 2 / 6th Battalion stationed in Murree, a picturesque town nestled in India's breathtaking landscapes. As we gaze at this historical snapshot, our eyes are drawn to a magnificent church standing tall against the backdrop of lush greenery. The soldiers proudly don their uniforms, representing their commitment and dedication to serving their country during these tumultuous times. Their silver insignias glimmer under the sunlight, symbolizing bravery and honor. Beyond their military duties, these men were also part of a community that relied on essential services like the local chemist. This photograph not only captures an important moment in history but also offers glimpses into everyday life during wartime. It reminds us that even amidst conflict and uncertainty, people continued with their daily routines and sought solace within familiar surroundings. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's Record Office (Ref No: RSR Uncat Acc 3284 Vol 2 2/6th Batt/171), this remarkable piece serves as a testament to the sacrifices made by individuals who fought for peace and freedom during WW1. Let this image transport you back in time as you reflect upon the resilience displayed by those who served far away from home in distant lands like India.
