EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history during World War One. The image showcases the RSR 2 / 6th Battalion, At Tank on its return journey in 1917. The tank stands tall and proud, representing the bravery and resilience of the soldiers who fought for their country. The Royal Sussex Regiment Collection at West Sussex Record Office holds this precious photograph, marked with reference number RSR Uncat Acc 3284 Vol 1 2/6th Batt/126. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who served in this battalion. Intriguingly, there are two notable phrases visible on this postcard - "Letters for John Bull Only" and "Who shall hang". These words add an air of mystery to the scene, leaving us wondering about their significance within the context of war. The carriage seen in the background suggests that this may have been taken during a break or rest period for these brave soldiers. As they receive mail from home or prepare to send letters back to loved ones, we can only imagine how much these connections meant to them amidst such challenging times. This photograph is not just a simple snapshot; it represents courage, sacrifice, and hope during one of humanity's darkest periods. Let us remember those who fought valiantly for our freedom as we gaze upon this powerful image from West Sussex County Council's archives.
