EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back to a crucial moment in history - the era of World War I. Captured during 1916-19, this rare image showcases a magnificent French battleship anchored at Suez, Egypt. The sheer size and grandeur of this warship stand as a testament to the naval might that played a pivotal role in shaping global conflicts. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era when nations vied for dominance on land and sea. This particular battleship belonged to the renowned RSR 2 / 6th Battalion, representing France's formidable naval force during those tumultuous years.
