Army Cigarette Flag Pipe Saddle Sergeant Uniform World War One
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection captures a poignant moment in history. The image showcases the RSR 16th Battalion, Sussex Yeomanry, during their camp with horses. It is a remarkable glimpse into army life during the early 20th century. The soldiers are dressed immaculately in their uniforms, exuding discipline and pride. Their attention to detail is evident as they stand tall beside their trusty steeds, saddled up and ready for duty. A sergeant can be seen at the forefront of the group, commanding respect with his authoritative presence. Amidst this scene of military precision, there are subtle hints of camaraderie and relaxation. One soldier casually enjoys a cigarette while another leans against his horse's saddle, pipe in hand. These small moments humanize these brave men who would soon face the horrors of World War One. The backdrop features an impressive flag proudly waving in the wind; it symbolizes unity and patriotism that defined this era. This postcard serves as a powerful reminder of sacrifice and bravery exhibited by those who served during this tumultuous time. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's Record Office, this photograph offers invaluable insight into our shared history. Its significance lies not only within its historical context but also as a testament to the resilience and courage displayed by these soldiers who fought for our freedom.
