EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back to a significant moment in history. It showcases the RSR 2 / 6th Battalion's voyage to India on H. M. T Ceramic during World War One. The image, titled "Port Said" captures the bustling harbor town of Port Said in Egypt. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a magnificent ship anchored at the port, ready to embark on its journey. The vessel stands as a symbol of hope and resilience amidst the chaos of war. Its presence is a testament to the bravery and determination of those aboard – members of the esteemed Royal Sussex Regiment. The photograph offers a glimpse into life during this era, with locals going about their daily activities along the waterfront. The vibrant atmosphere is enhanced by Lipton tea advertisements adorning nearby buildings, reminding us that even amidst turmoil, simple pleasures like enjoying a cuppa were still cherished. As we delve into history through this remarkable image, it serves as a poignant reminder of sacrifices made and challenges overcome by these brave soldiers who sailed far from home towards an uncertain future. This print not only preserves an important chapter in West Sussex's military heritage but also pays homage to all those who served their country during World War One.
