EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back to a significant chapter in history, during World War One. The image showcases members of the RSR 2 / 6th Battalion stationed on the iconic Suez Canal in Egypt. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era filled with bravery and sacrifice. The composition of the photograph is truly remarkable. In the foreground, a traditional felucca gracefully glides along the calm waters of the canal, while a sturdy barge stands tall behind it. These vessels symbolize resilience and adaptability amidst challenging circumstances. The soldiers themselves stand proudly on board these boats, their uniforms reflecting their unwavering dedication to duty. Their faces reveal both determination and camaraderie as they navigate through unfamiliar territories far away from home. It is impossible not to be moved by this poignant scene that encapsulates both beauty and hardship simultaneously. This photo serves as a testament to those who served valiantly during WW1, reminding us of their sacrifices for our freedom today. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's extensive collection under reference number RSR Acc 4545 2/6th Batt/565, this photograph offers us a glimpse into history that should never be forgotten or taken for granted. Let it serve as a reminder of our shared past and inspire future generations towards peace and unity.
