This print captures a significant moment in history - the crossing of a river by RSR 2 / 6th Battalion, Peshawar Mountain Battery in 1917. The soldiers, belonging to the Royal Sussex Regiment, can be seen skillfully maneuvering their horses and artillery supplies across the flowing waters. The image showcases the dedication and resourcefulness of these brave men as they navigate through challenging terrain on the North-West Frontier during World War One. The soldiers' attention to detail is evident from their meticulously arranged equipment, including wheels, bridles, saddles, and other essential items. This postcard serves as a powerful reminder of the crucial role played by transport units like this one in ensuring that troops had access to necessary supplies even in difficult circumstances.

As we reflect upon the sacrifices made by those who served during World War One, let us not forget the countless individuals like these soldiers who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to provide vital support for their comrades on the front lines
