EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the readiness and determination of the RSR 2 / 6th Battalion during World War One. Taken in Burhan, India in 1917, this image is a testament to the bravery and strength of the Royal Sussex Regiment. The soldiers depicted here are seen preparing for loading, their supplies neatly arranged beside them. Clad in their impeccable uniforms, they exude an air of discipline and professionalism. The diverse group represents the rich tapestry of individuals who came together from various backgrounds to serve their country. Notably, this photograph highlights the unique transport method employed by these troops - camels. In an era where modern vehicles were scarce or impractical in certain terrains, these majestic creatures served as reliable means of transportation across rugged landscapes. As part of the British Army stationed in Punjab, India during World War One, these soldiers faced numerous challenges while serving far away from home. Yet through it all, they remained steadfast and dedicated to their duty. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's Royal Sussex Regiment Collection, this postcard provides us with a glimpse into a pivotal moment that shaped our world's history. It serves as a poignant reminder of those who sacrificed so much for future generations' freedom
