EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back to the year 1916 at Burhan Station. The image showcases a bustling railway platform filled with activity and anticipation. Against a backdrop of lush greenery, soldiers from the esteemed 2nd/6th Battalion of the Royal Sussex Regiment can be seen boarding a train that would transport them to unknown destinations on their noble mission. The photograph captures not only the brave men in uniform but also offers a glimpse into an integral part of wartime logistics - railways. The rail tracks stretch far into the distance, symbolizing hope and connection amidst chaos. The signal tower stands tall as it guides trains through this vital lifeline. As we delve deeper into history, this postcard serves as a poignant reminder of how transportation played an instrumental role during times of conflict. It highlights the immense efforts made by countless individuals who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to ensure troops were efficiently moved across vast distances. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's Record Office, this remarkable piece provides valuable insight into one aspect of World War One's impact on Punjab's landscape and its people. Let us remember those who served bravely and honor their sacrifices while appreciating these historical artifacts that continue to educate and inspire generations to come.
