EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back to Dalhousie in 1918, during the tumultuous times of World War One. The image showcases members of the RSR 2 / 6th Battalion taking a well-deserved rest amidst their duties. In this snapshot, we witness soldiers dressed in their distinctive uniforms, proudly representing their regiment and country. Their weary yet determined expressions speak volumes about the challenges they faced on a daily basis. The backdrop of Dalhousie provides an intriguing contrast to these brave men. Nestled within the picturesque Indian landscape, it is evident that these soldiers were stationed far away from home. The presence of local children adds a touch of innocence and curiosity to the scene as they observe these foreign visitors with wide-eyed wonder. Transportation plays a significant role in this photograph as well. A horse-drawn cart stands nearby, serving as both a reminder of simpler times and a practical means for carrying supplies or wounded comrades. Lastly, one cannot overlook the wicker basket placed prominently at the center of attention. Its contents remain unknown but may hold essential items for sustenance or perhaps even letters from loved ones left behind. This remarkable print offers us a glimpse into history—an intimate moment frozen in time—where courage meets weariness against an exotic backdrop. It serves as a poignant reminder of sacrifice and resilience during one of humanity's darkest chapters—the Great War.
