EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back to a significant period in history - World War One. The image showcases members of RSR 2 / 6th Battalion at Dobi Ghat, diligently engaged in the task of washing clothes within the Cornwallis Barracks located in Bangalore, India. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily lives and routines of soldiers during this tumultuous time. Amidst the chaos and uncertainty of war, these brave men found solace in mundane yet essential chores like laundry. As they scrubbed away dirt and grime from their uniforms, one can only imagine the camaraderie that must have formed amongst them. The setting itself is intriguing; Bangalore's Cornwallis Barracks served as an important military base during WW1, providing support and shelter for troops stationed there. This particular snapshot encapsulates not only the regiment's dedication to cleanliness but also highlights their adaptability to different environments. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's Record Office with reference number RSR Acc 4545 2/6th Batt/395, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of those who served their country selflessly amidst global turmoil. It allows us to reflect on how even seemingly ordinary tasks carried immense significance during times of war. As we delve into history through images such as these, it is crucial to remember that they are not meant for commercial use but rather serve as valuable records documenting our shared past.
