India Landscape Railway River Train World War One

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back in time to India during World War One. The image captures a scene from inside a railway carriage, offering a glimpse into the lives of soldiers serving in the 2nd/6th Battalion of the RSR. As we peer through the window, our eyes are drawn to an enchanting landscape that unfolds before us. The photograph showcases a picturesque river winding its way through lush greenery, painting a serene backdrop against which this momentous chapter in history unfolded. It is believed that this particular stretch of railway lies on the Bombay-Calcutta line, adding historical significance to this snapshot frozen in time. As we reflect upon this image, it serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men who served their country far away from home. The presence of the train and railway tracks symbolizes both connection and separation – connecting soldiers with their loved ones while simultaneously separating them from familiar surroundings. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's extensive collection, this print offers us an intimate glimpse into life during wartime India. Let it serve as a testament to those who fought valiantly for freedom and peace amidst unfamiliar landscapes and uncertain times.
