RSR 2 / 6th Battalion, On the banks of the Suez, 1916
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back to a significant moment in history - World War One. The image captures a scene on the banks of the Suez Canal in Egypt during 1916. Amidst the arid desert landscape, rows of tents stand tall, forming a temporary home for members of RSR's esteemed 2nd/6th Battalion. The soldiers depicted here were part of an extraordinary chapter in human history - one that saw nations locked in conflict and young men leaving their homes behind to serve their country. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their sacrifice and bravery. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it is impossible not to imagine what life was like for these soldiers stationed along such an iconic waterway. The canal itself played a crucial role during World War One as it served as a vital supply route for troops and equipment moving between Europe and Asia. While this photo does not reveal specific details about any particular company or commercial use, its historical significance cannot be understated. It stands as both testament and tribute to those who fought valiantly amidst challenging conditions during this tumultuous era. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's Record Office under reference number RSR Uncat Acc 3284 Vol 1 2/6th Batt/012, this postcard offers us an invaluable glimpse into our shared past – reminding
