Architecture Army India Quarters Uniform World War One Goal Runner
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1916, amidst the bustling parade ground and charming bungalows of Cornwallis Barracks in Bangalore. The image showcases members of the RSR 2 / 6th Battalion, proudly donning their uniforms as they prepare for duty. These brave soldiers were part of a larger goal - serving their country during World War One. The architecture surrounding them is reminiscent of colonial India, with its grandeur and elegance adding a touch of nostalgia to this snapshot in time. The barracks stand tall, exuding an air of authority and discipline that was essential for military life. In the foreground, we catch sight of a runner swiftly making his way across the parade ground. Perhaps he carries important messages or urgent orders from higher command – a testament to the efficiency and coordination required within an army unit. Beyond its historical significance, this photograph also offers us a glimpse into daily life within these quarters during WW1. It allows us to imagine conversations shared between comrades under those very roofs – stories told, friendships forged, and support given during challenging times on foreign soil. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's Record Office (Ref No: RSR Uncat Acc 3284 Vol 1 2/6th Batt/017), this postcard serves as a poignant reminder not only of our nation's past but also honors those who served selflessly in defense of freedom.
