EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative studio portrait captures the stoic determination of a Royal Sussex Regiment soldier stationed in Bangalore, India, during World War I. Dressed in full military regalia, the soldier wears the distinctive pith helmet and carries a cigar, a small luxury in the harsh conditions of the colonial outpost. The date on the photograph is 20 November 1916, and the soldier is identified as a member of the 2/6 Battalion of the Royal Sussex Regiment. The First World War saw the British Empire mobilize its resources and manpower on a massive scale, with soldiers from all corners of the empire, including India, answering the call to defend the realm. The Royal Sussex Regiment, which traces its history back to 1688, was one of the oldest infantry regiments in the British Army, and saw action in both Europe and India during the war. The photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of the soldiers who served in the far-flung corners of the British Empire, and the challenges they faced in maintaining morale and discipline in the heat and humidity of India. The soldier's steady gaze and confident posture suggest a man who is well-trained and ready for whatever challenges the future may bring. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers from all corners of the British Empire during the First World War, and the enduring legacy of the British Army in shaping the modern world.
