EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "RSR 2 / 6th Battalion, Chiefs awaiting Jirga" we are transported back in time to the tumultuous era of World War One. The image captures a significant moment of diplomacy and political discussion amidst the chaos of war. The photograph showcases a group of dignified individuals, members of the Royal Sussex Regiment's 2nd/6th Battalion, eagerly anticipating the commencement of a Jirga. This traditional assembly served as an essential platform for dialogue and decision-making within Indian communities during this period. As we delve into history through this remarkable visual artifact, it becomes evident that these brave soldiers were not only warriors on the battlefield but also diplomats seeking resolutions beyond conflict. Their presence at such meetings highlights their crucial role in fostering understanding and cooperation between different factions. The backdrop against which they stand is reminiscent of India's rich cultural heritage, with vibrant tapestries adorning the walls and intricate patterns gracing the floor. These elements serve as a reminder that even amid warfare, traditions endure and play an integral part in shaping diplomatic endeavors. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's esteemed collection at West Sussex Record Office, this photograph offers us a glimpse into an often overlooked aspect of World War One – one where politics intertwines with military strategy. It serves as a poignant testament to humanity's unwavering pursuit for peace amidst times marked by conflict and turmoil.
