EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back to 1917, amidst the chaos of World War One. The image showcases members of RSR 2 / 6th Battalion standing proudly on the Kaisarihind Bridge in India. With their uniforms and determined expressions, these soldiers exude strength and resilience. However, what truly steals the spotlight is not just the brave men but also their unique mode of transport - a donkey or mule! This unexpected addition adds an element of surprise and humor to an otherwise serious scene. It serves as a reminder that even in times of war, life finds its way to inject moments of lightheartedness. The bridge itself stands tall and sturdy, symbolizing the vital infrastructure that enabled troops to navigate through challenging terrains during wartime. Its significance cannot be underestimated as it played a crucial role in facilitating transportation for military operations. As we gaze upon this historical postcard, we are transported back in time when every detail held immense importance. The West Sussex Record Office has preserved this remarkable piece with great care under reference number RSR Uncat Acc 3284 Vol 1 2/6th Batt/129. Let this photograph serve as a testament to the bravery and resourcefulness exhibited by those who fought during World War One while reminding us that even amidst adversity, there can still be moments worth cherishing.
