RSR 2 / 6th Battalion, Gurkha, Burhan Camp 1916 - A Glimpse into the Valor and Camaraderie of World War One
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back to the year 1916, amidst the tumultuous times of World War One. Captured within its frame is a group of brave soldiers belonging to RSR's esteemed 2nd/6th Battalion Gurkha regiment. Standing tall in their impeccable uniforms, these warriors exude an air of resilience and determination. Set against the backdrop of Burhan Camp in India's Punjab region, this image showcases not only their military prowess but also offers a glimpse into their daily lives during wartime. The camp itself serves as both a sanctuary and training ground for these valiant men who have left their homes far behind. Each soldier proudly holds his rifle while donning traditional bush hats that shield them from the scorching sun. Their tents provide shelter amidst unfamiliar terrain as they prepare for battle with unwavering resolve. Notably present in this photograph are the iconic kukri knives hanging by each soldier's side – symbols of their legendary bravery and skill in close combat. These Gurkhas embody an indomitable spirit that has earned them great respect throughout history. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history preserved by West Sussex County Council, let us remember those who fought selflessly on distant lands during World War One. May their sacrifice forever
