EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1916, amidst the chaos of World War One. The image showcases members of RSR 2 / 6th Battalion, The Egg Woman, stationed at Cornwallis Barracks in Bangalore, India. Dressed in traditional Indian saris, these brave soldiers stand proudly alongside a local woman carrying a basket filled with fresh produce. The architecture surrounding them is reminiscent of colonial times, reflecting the British influence on this vibrant city. Despite being far away from their homeland, these troops have adapted to their surroundings and formed connections with the locals through shared experiences such as food. In an era defined by conflict and hardship, this photograph reminds us that even during war times there were moments of camaraderie and cultural exchange. It serves as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of those who served in World War One. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's Royal Sussex Regiment Collection, this postcard offers a glimpse into history that goes beyond military operations. It captures a snapshot of daily life for soldiers stationed abroad during one of humanity's darkest periods. As we reflect upon this poignant image today, it serves as a reminder not only of the sacrifices made by those who fought but also highlights the importance of preserving our collective heritage for future generations to learn from and appreciate.
