EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection, held at West Sussex Record Office, takes us back to a significant moment in history - 1917 during World War One. The image showcases the RSR 2 / 6th Battalion stationed near Dera Ismail Khan (D. I. K. ), India. The photograph captures a remarkable scene of military transport on the river, known as the Bridge of Boats. This ingenious structure allowed troops and supplies to be efficiently transported across waterways during wartime operations. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear the sounds of soldiers bustling about their duties and feel the tension that must have permeated through these challenging times. The composition is strikingly beautiful; with calm waters reflecting both natural surroundings and man-made structures. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst war's chaos, moments of tranquility could still be found. This postcard-sized print not only documents an important chapter in global history but also pays tribute to the brave men who served within this regiment during World War One. Preserved by West Sussex County Council for future generations to appreciate, it stands as a testament to their sacrifice and dedication
