EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the RSR 2 / 6th Battalion, famously known as the Black Hole of Calcutta, in 1916. Preserved within the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this historical gem provides a glimpse into India's military history during World War One. The image captures a monument that stands tall and proud amidst lush surroundings. Its significance lies in its association with the infamous incident known as the Black Hole of Calcutta, which occurred in 1756 when British prisoners were confined to a small dungeon overnight resulting in many deaths due to suffocation and heat exhaustion. The inscription on this solemn memorial serves as a poignant reminder of those who lost their lives during that tragic event. The railings surrounding it symbolize both protection and remembrance, creating an atmosphere of reverence for those who sacrificed their lives for their country. As we delve into this photograph's rich historical context, it is important to acknowledge the East India Company's role during this period. Their presence played a significant part in shaping India's destiny and contributed greatly to world events such as World War One. While commercial use is not mentioned here, let us appreciate how photographs like these allow us to reflect upon our shared past and honor those who have come before us. This remarkable piece from West Sussex County Council invites us to explore history through visual storytelling and reminds us of the sacrifices made by brave soldiers serving far away from home.
