EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back to the year 1917, amidst the tumultuous times of World War One. The image showcases members of RSR's esteemed 2nd/6th Battalion stationed at Jatta Camp on the North-West Frontier. Dressed in their distinctive uniforms and armed with rifles, these brave soldiers epitomize courage and resilience. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into life within the trenches as they stand resolute against an unforgiving landscape. Each soldier carries a satchel filled with essential supplies while gripping their rifles tightly, ready to defend their position at any moment. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness one soldier intently peering through binoculars, scanning for potential threats or opportunities. Notably present is a machine gun mounted on sandbags nearby – a testament to both defensive strategies and offensive capabilities employed by troops during this era. This visual reminder serves as a stark contrast against the serene backdrop of India's vast landscapes. As we reflect upon this historical artifact preserved by West Sussex County Council's Record Office, it is crucial to honor and remember those who fought valiantly for our freedom. Let us pay tribute to these courageous individuals who selflessly served their country amid
