EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back to a significant chapter in history - the North-West Frontier campaign during World War One. The image showcases members of RSR 2 / 6th Battalion, known as the Sussex Boys, stationed in India between 1916 and 1919. The photograph captures a picturesque landscape with rolling hills serving as the backdrop for their campsite. A row of sturdy tents is neatly arranged, providing shelter for these brave soldiers who are proudly donning their uniforms. Their disciplined formation reflects both their commitment to duty and camaraderie within this esteemed regiment. Amongst them stands a majestic horse, symbolizing strength and resilience amidst challenging circumstances. This loyal companion serves as a reminder of the vital role that animals played during wartime operations. As we delve into this historical moment frozen in time, it's impossible not to appreciate the dedication and sacrifice exhibited by these soldiers far away from home. This print offers us an opportunity to reflect on their bravery while also acknowledging the immense challenges they faced on foreign soil. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's Record Office under reference number RSR Acc 4545 2/6th Batt/410, this remarkable image allows us to honor those who served during World War One and gain insight into life at camp on India's North-West Frontier.
