Bullock India Washing Water World War One Pump
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back to Lahore in 1918. The image showcases the remarkable bond between women and their unwavering dedication during World War One. In this particular snapshot, we witness the members of RSR 2 / 6th Battalion, Ladies Only, engaging in an essential daily task - washing clothes. The scene unfolds near a serene water body in India, where a group of determined women can be seen diligently scrubbing garments against washboards. A majestic bullock stands nearby, seemingly observing their efforts with curiosity. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the countless unsung heroes who played crucial roles on the home front during wartime. Amidst the backdrop of historical significance, one cannot help but notice a pump and tap strategically placed for convenience. These simple yet vital tools allowed these resilient ladies to carry out their duties efficiently while ensuring cleanliness and hygiene even amidst challenging circumstances. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's Record Office under reference number RSR Uncat Acc 3284 Vol 2 2/6th Batt/276, this photograph offers us a glimpse into an era defined by sacrifice and resilience. It is important to note that this caption does not mention commercial use; rather it focuses on honoring those who dedicated themselves selflessly during times of conflict.
