EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection at West Sussex Record Office takes us back to the tumultuous years of 1916-19 during World War One. The image showcases a remarkable woman named Miss Leslie, who served in the RSR's 2nd/6th Battalion. Dressed in an intriguing costume that combines elements of military attire and traditional Indian garments, she stands proudly with her rifle amidst a breathtaking landscape. The photograph offers a poignant reminder that women played an integral role in supporting their countries during times of conflict. While men fought on the front lines, courageous women like Miss Leslie took up arms and contributed to various war efforts. Their dedication and resilience were instrumental in shaping history. As we delve deeper into this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that Miss Leslie was not merely posing for the camera but rather exuding strength and determination. Her poised stance suggests both confidence and skill as she holds her rifle firmly – perhaps indicating her proficiency as a hunter or marksman. This extraordinary photograph serves as a testament to the countless unsung heroines who defied societal norms by actively participating in wartime activities. It reminds us to acknowledge their invaluable contributions while honoring their memory today.
