This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection, housed at the West Sussex Record Office, takes us back to a significant moment in history. Dated 1917 and titled "RSR 2 / 6th Battalion, The Ferry, River Indus" it offers a glimpse into life during World War I. The image showcases an impressive pontoon bridge spanning across the mighty River Indus in India. On this Easter Sunday postcard, we witness soldiers of the 6th Battalion skillfully navigating their way on this vital crossing point. With determination etched on their faces, they carry out their duties with unwavering bravery amidst the chaos of war. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these men who fought for freedom and peace. The river's calm surface contrasts with the turbulent times that surrounded them during WWI. It symbolizes hope and resilience in challenging circumstances. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back to an era where every step taken had immense significance.
