EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back to Mari Indus in 1917 during World War One. The image showcases members of the RSR 2 / 6th Battalion, standing proudly on a boat as they navigate through the serene waters of an Indian river. The soldiers' uniforms and serious expressions remind us of the challenging times they faced during this global conflict. The postcard-like quality adds a touch of nostalgia, making it evident that this photograph was cherished by those who received it or carried it with them. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men far away from their homeland. The location itself is shrouded in mystery, leaving us curious about what lay beyond the frame's edges. Perhaps this river served as a vital transportation route for troops or supplies during wartime? Or maybe it offered moments of respite and solace amidst chaos? Regardless, this print captures not only a historical moment but also evokes emotions tied to camaraderie, duty, and resilience. It stands as a testament to the courage displayed by countless individuals who fought valiantly in distant lands. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's extensive collection, this image provides valuable insight into both military history and life during WW1 in India. Its significance lies not only in its visual appeal but also in its ability to transport us back to an era long gone yet forever etched into our collective memory.
