EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as the soldiers of RSR 2 / 6th Battalion stand proudly at the entrance to the magnificent Palace in Mysore, India. Taken in 1916 during World War One, this image showcases not only the bravery and resilience of these Royal Sussex Regiment troops but also highlights the stunning architecture that surrounds them. The soldiers are dressed immaculately in their uniforms, representing their unwavering dedication to duty amidst challenging times. Standing tall against a backdrop of intricate arches and ornate gateways, they exude an air of strength and determination. The juxtaposition between military might and architectural grandeur creates a visually striking scene. Beyond its historical significance, this photograph also offers glimpses into Indian culture with its depiction of a temple within the palace grounds. This fusion of military presence and cultural heritage serves as a reminder that even during times of war, artistry and spirituality continue to thrive. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's Record Office, this postcard is more than just an artifact; it is a testament to human endurance and appreciation for beauty amidst chaos. As we reflect on those who served bravely during World War One, let us also acknowledge the power that images like these have in connecting us to our shared pasts.
