EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the RSR 2 / 6th Battalion stationed at the Suez Canal off Port Said in 1916. The Royal Sussex Regiment Collection, housed at West Sussex Record Office, proudly preserves this remarkable image that offers a glimpse into the past. In this snapshot, we witness an array of elements that tell a compelling story. Dominating the foreground is an impressive ship anchored near the canal's edge, exuding strength and power. Adjacent to it lies a rowing boat gently bobbing on the calm waters, serving as a stark contrast to its colossal neighbor. The steamer stands as both transport and symbol of hope during World War One (WW1). Its presence signifies resilience amidst chaos and serves as a lifeline for soldiers stationed far from home. This vessel undoubtedly played an integral role in supporting military operations during these tumultuous times. Notably absent from this scene are any signs of commercial use or bustling activity typically associated with ports. Instead, our focus is drawn to the tranquility surrounding these wartime heroes who bravely navigate their duties along Egypt's shores. As we gaze upon this postcard-like photograph frozen in time, let us reflect on the sacrifices made by those who served valiantly during WW1. Their unwavering dedication ensured our freedom today and reminds us of their indomitable spirit even amidst adversity.
