EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1917, amidst the picturesque Murree Hills in India. Here, we find ourselves in Jhikka Gali Bazaar, a bustling marketplace that served as a vital hub for the 6th Battalion of the Royal Sussex Regiment during World War One. The soldiers of RSR 2 can be seen in this snapshot, immersed in their daily routines and interactions with locals. The image showcases an intriguing blend of cultures and activities. A dilapidated shack stands prominently on one side, serving as a makeshift shop where essential supplies are sold to both soldiers and civilians alike. Amidst this vibrant scene is an unexpected visitor - a cow leisurely strolling through the market, seemingly unfazed by its surroundings. Intriguingly enough, this photograph captures more than just a moment frozen in time; it encapsulates resilience and resourcefulness during wartime. It serves as a poignant reminder of how even amidst conflict and adversity, life continues to thrive. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's extensive collection under reference number RSR Uncat Acc 3284 Vol 2 2/6th Batt/177, this historical artifact offers us glimpses into an era long gone. Let us cherish these remnants from our past while honoring those who lived through such challenging times.
