EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back to a significant moment in history - World War One. The image showcases members of RSR 2 / 6th Battalion stationed in Egypt during their deployment in 1916. The soldiers stand tall and resolute against the backdrop of the iconic Suez Canal, symbolizing their unwavering determination to protect and serve their country. Their uniforms bear witness to their allegiance as they proudly display the flag of Great Britain. In this snapshot frozen in time, we catch a glimpse of life on the frontlines. The presence of supplies hints at logistical challenges faced by these brave men, highlighting their resilience amidst adversity. Transport vessels dotting the canal emphasize its vital role as a lifeline for military operations. As warships sail through these waters, one cannot help but ponder over the immense sacrifices made by those who fought valiantly aboard them. This postcard serves as a poignant reminder of not only the physical battles waged but also captures moments that reveal camaraderie and shared experiences among comrades. Preserved with utmost care at West Sussex Record Office, this remarkable photograph offers an invaluable insight into our collective past. It stands testament to both individual heroism and collective sacrifice endured by generations before us – reminding us never to forget those who laid down their lives for freedom and peace.
