EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photograph from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection, we are transported back to a significant chapter in history - World War I. The image showcases two distinguished officers, Smithers (Monty) and Campbell, belonging to the esteemed 6th Battalion of the Royal Sussex Regiment. Dressed immaculately in their military uniforms, complete with jodhpurs and officer insignias, these brave men exude an air of confidence and determination. Their attire hints at their service in India or Egypt during this tumultuous period. The photograph's exact location is uncertain; however, clues suggest it may have been taken in Port Said due to contextual references. Port Said was a vital strategic point during WWI as it served as a major transit hub for troops heading towards various fronts. This remarkable print offers us a glimpse into the lives of these gallant soldiers who fought valiantly for their country amidst unimaginable challenges. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during one of humanity's darkest hours. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office Ref No: RSR Acc 4545 2/6th Batt/558 collection underlines its historical significance.
