EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection, held at West Sussex Record Office, takes us back to a significant period in history - World War One. The image showcases members of RSR 2 / 6th Battalion, known as Dholie Bearers, engrossed in the art of cooking. Set against the backdrop of a humble tent, these brave soldiers are seen preparing food for their comrades. The scene exudes an air of camaraderie and resilience amidst challenging circumstances. As they knead dough and flatten it into perfectly round chapatis on makeshift stoves, one can only imagine the aroma that filled the air - a comforting reminder of home even in this foreign land. This photograph encapsulates not just the physical sustenance provided by these men but also highlights their unwavering spirit and determination to carry on despite being far away from loved ones. It serves as a poignant testament to their sacrifice and dedication during this tumultuous time. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, let us remember those who fought valiantly during World War One and pay tribute to their courage. This image is a powerful reminder that even amidst chaos and uncertainty, simple acts like cooking together can bring solace and create bonds that transcend borders.
