EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection showcases the RSR 2 / 6th Battalion, Juggernaut Car in Bangalore during the years of 1916-19. The image captures a remarkable blend of Indian culture and military history. In this vibrant scene, we witness an enchanting Hindu festival taking place amidst the backdrop of World War One. The Juggernaut Car stands tall and proud, adorned with intricate decorations that pay homage to India's rich religious heritage. This magnificent vehicle served as a symbol of strength and unity for both soldiers and civilians alike. The photograph offers a glimpse into a time when soldiers found solace in their shared beliefs while being far away from home during wartime. It is evident that religion played an essential role in providing comfort and hope amidst the chaos of battle. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's Record Office, this rare artifact serves as a testament to the diverse experiences encountered by servicemen during World War One. Its historical significance lies not only in its depiction of military life but also in its portrayal of cultural exchange between British troops stationed abroad and local communities. As we delve into this extraordinary piece, let us remember those who fought valiantly on foreign soil while embracing new customs and traditions along their arduous journey towards peace.
