EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back to the year 1917, amidst the tumultuous times of World War One. The image showcases the RSR 2 / 6th Battalion's biplanes stationed at Tank in India's North-West Frontier. A remarkable sight unfolds before our eyes as these powerful aircraft stand side by side with a sturdy army truck, forming an imposing display of military might. The rugged landscape serves as a backdrop for this snapshot of history, highlighting both the harsh conditions and strategic importance of this region during wartime. The bomber planes, adorned with their distinctive markings and proudly displaying the emblem of the Royal Flying Corps (RFC), symbolize courage and determination in defending their country. As we delve deeper into this photograph, we notice a sense of unity among different branches of service. The presence of an army lorry alongside these aerial warriors signifies collaboration between ground forces and air support – a testament to effective coordination within the military ranks. This postcard-sized treasure offers us a glimpse into an era when aviation was still in its infancy but played an instrumental role on battlefields worldwide. It reminds us that even amidst war's chaos, innovation thrives and individuals come together to face adversity head-on. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's Record Office, this historical artifact stands as a tribute to those who served bravely during World War One – their legacy forever etched in time through photographs like these.
