EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1917, amidst the chaos of World War I. The image showcases a breathtaking view from Mari Indus landing stages, offering a glimpse into the world of RSR 2 / 6th Battalion. As part of the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection, this historical gem is preserved at West Sussex Record Office under Ref No: RSR Uncat Acc 3284 Vol 2 2/6th Batt/167. The photograph captures an idyllic scene with a boat gracefully sailing on calm waters against a backdrop of stunning Indian landscape. The serene beauty depicted here provides a stark contrast to the tumultuous times in which it was taken. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of war and strife, nature's splendor continues unabated. The significance of this postcard lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in its historical context. It offers us a rare glimpse into the lives and experiences of those who served during WWI, particularly members of RSR 2 / 6th Battalion stationed in India. As we admire this remarkable piece from West Sussex County Council's collection, let us reflect upon the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by these soldiers during one of humanity's darkest chapters. May their memory live on through photographs like these that serve as poignant reminders of our shared history.
