EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back to a significant moment in history - the year 1916-19 during World War One. The image titled "RSR 2 / 6th Battalion, On the Canal" offers a glimpse into the lives of brave soldiers stationed in Suez, Egypt. The photograph showcases a bustling scene on the canal, with various elements that paint a vivid picture of military life at that time. A sturdy jetty stretches out into the water, serving as an essential point of embarkation and disembarkation for troops and supplies alike. A barge can be seen moored alongside it, likely carrying crucial provisions to support these courageous soldiers. In close proximity to this maritime activity stands a tent, possibly serving as temporary quarters or perhaps even doubling up as an operational base for strategic planning sessions. Adjacent to it is a lifeboat - an ever-present reminder of the dangers faced by those who served their country during wartime. As we reflect upon this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded not only of the immense sacrifices made by these men but also their unwavering determination and resilience amidst challenging circumstances. This print serves as both a testament to their bravery and an invaluable historical artifact.
