Army World War One Cutthroat Razor
RSR 2 / 6th Battalion, Shaving, India 1916 - A Glimpse into the Lives of Brave Soldiers during World War One
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection offers a poignant snapshot of life in the midst of World War One. Taken in India in 1916, it showcases a momentary respite for soldiers belonging to RSR's esteemed 2nd/6th Battalion. The image portrays an intimate scene as one soldier carefully shaves using a cutthroat razor. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men who fought valiantly on distant shores. It captures their unwavering determination and resilience amidst unimaginable circumstances. While war raged on, moments like these provided brief solace and offered them a semblance of normalcy amid chaos. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's extensive archives, this postcard-sized print is part of an uncatalogued accession numbered RSR Uncat Acc 3284 Vol 1 2/6th Batt/078. Its historical significance lies not only in its depiction of personal grooming but also in its representation of camaraderie and unity among troops stationed far away from home. As we reflect upon this remarkable piece, let us honor those who served with courage and selflessness during WWI. Their stories deserve to be remembered and cherished for generations to come
