EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back to a significant era in history - World War One. The image showcases members of the RSR 2 / 6th Battalion, Bolton, Brown, Holmes regiment during their time aboard HMT Ceramic, presumed to be on an Indian voyage. The soldiers are seen enjoying a moment of respite amidst the chaos and uncertainty that war brings. Sitting comfortably in deckchairs on the ship's deck, they appear relaxed and content despite being far away from home. Their camaraderie is evident as they engage in conversation and laughter. The backdrop of this photograph reveals glimpses of life at sea - vast blue waters stretching endlessly into the horizon with hints of other ships dotting the distance. It serves as a reminder that these brave men were not only warriors but also individuals who sought solace even amid turbulent times. As we delve into this historical snapshot, it becomes apparent that this image captures more than just a group of soldiers; it encapsulates resilience and unity amidst adversity. It reminds us that even during wartime, moments of joy and connection can still be found. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's Record Office under reference number RSR Acc 4545 2/6th Batt/559, this photograph stands as a testament to those who served their country selflessly during World War One. Let us honor their sacrifice while cherishing these glimpses into their lives aboard HMT Ceramic - memories frozen in time forevermore.
