EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection showcases the RSR 2 / 6th Battalion's Persian Wheel, a remarkable piece of machinery used for drawing water. Taken during the years 1916-19, this photograph offers a glimpse into an era defined by World War One and its global impact. Set against the backdrop of India, this image transports us to a time when irrigation played a crucial role in sustaining communities. The Persian Wheel stands tall and proud, symbolizing human ingenuity and resilience amidst challenging circumstances. Its intricate design is testament to mankind's ability to harness technology for practical purposes. As we examine this photograph closely, we are drawn to the jar attached to the wheel - a vessel that represents life-giving water in an arid landscape. This simple yet vital element connects us with nature and reminds us of our dependence on it for survival. The significance of this image extends beyond its historical context; it serves as a reminder of our responsibility towards preserving natural resources even today. It prompts us to reflect on how innovation can be harnessed sustainably for societal progress. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office Ref No: RSR Acc 4545 2/6th Batt/433, this print captures not only an engineering marvel but also tells a story about humanity's quest for advancement amidst adversity. Let it inspire us to appreciate both our past achievements and future possibilities as we navigate through ever-changing times.
