EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection, housed at West Sussex Record Office, transports us back to the tumultuous era of World War One. The image showcases Lieutenant Colonel Frank Johnson DSO, an esteemed member of the 6th Battalion. Donning his immaculate uniform adorned with medals and insignia that symbolize his bravery and leadership, Lt Col Johnson stands tall and resolute. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness him clutching a baton firmly in one hand while peering through binoculars held up to his eyes with utmost focus. These tools of command reflect not only his tactical prowess but also highlight the weighty responsibilities he bore as an officer during wartime. The backdrop reveals an intriguing detail - India. This hints at Lt Col Johnson's service abroad during this period when British forces were deployed across various theaters worldwide. It sparks curiosity about what challenges he faced on foreign soil and how these experiences shaped him as a leader. As we delve deeper into history through this remarkable photograph, it is important to acknowledge its significance for research purposes rather than commercial use. Such archival treasures offer invaluable insights into our past heroes' sacrifices and remind us of their unwavering dedication towards safeguarding our freedom.
