EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection showcases a significant moment during World War One. The image takes us back to the year 1917 when soldiers of RSR's esteemed 2nd/6th Battalion embarked on a daring mission - crossing the mighty Haro River in Burhan. The photograph captures an array of elements that define this historical event. A sturdy bridge stands tall against the backdrop of a breathtaking Indian landscape, symbolizing both hope and resilience amidst adversity. Uniformed soldiers can be seen confidently marching across, rifles held firmly in their hands as they navigate through challenging terrain. The campsite nearby reveals glimpses of army life during wartime - rows of tents dotting the horizon, serving as temporary homes for these brave men who dedicated themselves to protecting their country. The presence of Punjabi troops reminds us of India's crucial role in supporting British forces during this global conflict. As we gaze upon this postcard-like print, it is impossible not to feel a sense of awe and admiration for those who served on these very grounds over a century ago. This image serves as a poignant reminder of sacrifice and camaraderie exhibited by our ancestors during one of history's darkest chapters.
