EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the brave soldiers of RSR 2 / 6th Battalion, Native well, Ferozepore in the year 1917. The Royal Sussex Regiment Collection at West Sussex Record Office has preserved this remarkable piece of history with great care and attention to detail. In this snapshot from a postcard, we are transported back to India during World War One. The image captures a group of soldiers gathered around an ancient well, their uniforms proudly displaying their affiliation with the esteemed Royal Sussex Regiment. As they stand united, one cannot help but admire their strength and resilience amidst the turmoil of war. The setting is serene yet significant; a large wheel stands tall beside the well, symbolizing both progress and tradition. It serves as a reminder that even in times of conflict, life continues to revolve around basic necessities such as water. As we delve into this photograph's rich historical context, it becomes evident that it holds immense value beyond its aesthetic appeal. It represents not only the bravery and dedication of these soldiers but also sheds light on the global impact of World War One. Thanks to West Sussex County Council's commitment to preserving our heritage, we can now reflect upon this poignant moment from over a century ago – an enduring testament to those who served selflessly for their country.
