RSR 2 / 6th Battalion, Native Ploughs, near Bangalore, 1916 - A Glimpse into India's Agricultural Valor during World War One
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection offers a remarkable insight into the untold stories of Indian soldiers and their significant contribution to agriculture during World War One. Captured in 1916 near Bangalore, this image showcases the resilience and resourcefulness of the native ploughmen belonging to RSR 2 / 6th Battalion. Intriguingly framed against a backdrop of lush green fields, we witness these unsung heroes harnessing their bullocks with traditional yokes. With unwavering determination etched on their faces, they diligently till the land using age-old techniques passed down through generations. These brave men not only fought valiantly on battlefields but also played an integral role in sustaining food production amidst wartime challenges. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its historical context but also in shedding light on the often overlooked contributions made by colonial troops during times of conflict. It serves as a poignant reminder that war efforts extended beyond military operations; they encompassed every aspect of society. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's extensive collection (Ref No: RSR Uncat Acc 3284 Vol 1 2/6th Batt/053), this postcard captures a moment frozen in time—a testament to human resilience and unity across borders.
