EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back to a significant moment in history. Captured between 1916 and 1919 during World War One, it offers a unique perspective on the lives of soldiers stationed in India. In this particular scene, members of the RSR's 2nd/6th Battalion find themselves amidst an enchanting landscape. The rugged mountains provide a majestic backdrop as they observe an awe-inspiring herd of elephants passing through Travancore. It is a sight that evokes both wonder and tranquility amid the chaos of war. The image not only showcases the natural beauty of India but also highlights the diverse experiences encountered by soldiers during their service abroad. Far removed from their familiar surroundings in West Sussex, these brave men found solace and respite in moments like these – witnessing nature's wonders while fulfilling their duty. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's extensive collection, this photograph serves as a testament to those who served valiantly during World War One. Its historical significance lies not only in its depiction of distant lands but also in its ability to transport us back to a time when courage and resilience were paramount. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot today, let us remember those who fought for our freedom and honor their enduring legacy.
