EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back to the year 1917, amidst the rugged terrains of Waziristan in India. The image showcases the formidable Dabra Fort, standing tall as a testament to its antiquity and historical significance. Built with remarkable architectural finesse, this majestic fortress exudes an aura of strength and resilience. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, it is impossible not to be awestruck by the sheer grandeur of this ancient stronghold. Its towering walls seem to whisper tales of battles fought and won, while its intricate details hint at a rich cultural heritage that has stood strong against the test of time. Intriguingly enough, this photograph also serves as a reminder of the turbulent era during which it was taken – World War I. As soldiers belonging to RSR 2 / 6th Battalion pose proudly before Dabra Fort's imposing gates, one can only imagine their sense of duty and courage in defending such strategic locations. Preserved within West Sussex County Council's archives under reference number RSR Acc 4545 2/6th Batt/434, this photograph offers us a glimpse into history that transcends mere words on paper. It encapsulates both India's breathtaking landscapes and its rich architectural heritage while reminding us of our shared past marked by defense against adversity
