RSR 2 / 6th Battalion, The Regimental Theatre, Napier Barracks, Lahore 1918-19 (Royal Sussex Regiment Collection) - A Glimpse into the Dramatic Lives of Soldiers during World War One
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of soldiers stationed at Napier Barracks in Lahore during 1918-19. The image showcases an intriguing blend of military life and theatrical entertainment. Set against a backdrop reminiscent of India's rich cultural heritage, we see members of the 6th Battalion engaging in stage drama. Bathed in warm footlights, these brave men temporarily escape the harsh realities of war to immerse themselves in this creative outlet. The photograph not only captures their dedication to duty but also highlights their resilience and ability to find solace amidst chaos. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amid conflict and uncertainty, art has the power to uplift spirits and provide much-needed respite. On closer inspection, we notice an inscription on the reverse side: "With Compliments from 'Sussex Express. '". This suggests that this powerful image was shared with loved ones back home by one soldier or perhaps even published in a local newspaper. As custodians of history at West Sussex County Council's Record Office Ref No: RSR Uncat Acc 3284 Vol 2 2/6th Batt/270 collection, we are honored to preserve this unique piece that encapsulates both bravery
