RSR 2 / 6th Battalion, Mysore 1916 - A Glimpse into the Lives of Soldiers during World War One
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of soldiers serving in India during World War One. Captured on the 10th of July, 1916, this postcard showcases an army camp set against a backdrop of lush Indian landscapes. The image reveals rows upon rows of white canvas tents neatly arranged in perfect symmetry. These humble dwellings served as temporary homes for brave men who fought tirelessly to protect their nation's interests. The soldiers' resilience and camaraderie are palpable even through this still frame. As we delve deeper into this historical artifact, it becomes evident that these troops belonged to the renowned RSR (Royal Sussex Regiment) - specifically, its esteemed 2nd battalion. Their presence in Mysore highlights the global reach and impact of World War One. While we can only imagine what stories lie behind each tent flap or within every soldier's heart, this photograph serves as a testament to their unwavering dedication and sacrifice. It reminds us that war knows no boundaries and touches lives far beyond Europe's battlefields. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's Record Office with reference number RSR Uncat Acc 3284 Vol 1 2/6th Batt/081, this invaluable piece allows us to honor those who served while shedding light on an often overlooked aspect
