EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back to the era of World War One. In this image, we see Lt Frank Symonds of RSR 2 / 6th Battalion, Bangalore, India. The lush garden surrounding him provides a serene backdrop as he stands tall in his military uniform, pipe in hand. The architecture visible in the distance hints at the colonial influence prevalent during that time. It serves as a reminder of how British soldiers were stationed across various parts of India during WW1. Lt Frank Symonds' slippers peeking out from beneath his uniform add a touch of informality and offer insight into moments of relaxation amidst their duties. This photograph captures not only an individual soldier but also represents a significant chapter in history when nations were embroiled in conflict. It reminds us of the sacrifices made by countless men like Lt Frank Symonds who served far away from home. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's collection, this image is part of our shared heritage and offers glimpses into life on distant shores during wartime. As we reflect upon this poignant moment frozen in time, let it serve as a testament to bravery and resilience exhibited by those who fought for peace and freedom over a century ago.
