EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back to a significant moment in history - 1917, during World War One. The image showcases members of RSR 2 / 6th Battalion seeking refuge inside a cave near Burhan. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, we are drawn to the diverse group of individuals depicted. In the foreground stands an elderly staff member, his weathered face revealing years of experience and wisdom gained through countless battles fought. Clad in traditional Indian attire, he dons a cloak that exudes both elegance and practicality. This serves as a reminder that war knows no boundaries; it affects people from all walks of life. The flickering fire illuminates their weary faces, providing solace amidst the chaos that surrounds them. These brave soldiers have traveled far from their homeland Punjab to fight for justice and freedom on foreign soil. As we reflect upon this poignant scene captured on postcard format, let us not forget the sacrifices made by these valiant men who selflessly served their country during one of humanity's darkest times. Their courage echoes through generations, reminding us to cherish peace and strive for harmony even in times of conflict
