EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the West Sussex County Council's Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back to a remarkable moment in history. Captured between 1916 and 1919, it showcases members of the RSR 2 / 6th Battalion engaging in an unexpected combination of sports and transportation. The image reveals a group of soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, astride mules as they navigate the picturesque landscape of Burhan Camp in India. However, what truly sets this scene apart is their unconventional choice of sporting equipment – hockey sticks! In an extraordinary display of camaraderie and recreation amidst the chaos of World War One, these brave men found solace and joy through sport. The photograph not only highlights the resilience and adaptability exhibited by soldiers during wartime but also sheds light on the importance of leisure activities for maintaining morale. It serves as a powerful reminder that even amidst conflict, moments of respite can be found. Preserved with great care at West Sussex Record Office under reference number RSR Acc 4545 2/6th Batt/418, this historical gem offers a glimpse into a unique chapter within military history. As we reflect upon this image today, let us honor those who served during World War One while appreciating the profound impact that sports and recreation had on their lives.
