EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back to a bygone era, specifically 1916-19 in Bangalore, India. The image showcases members of the RSR 2 / 6th Battalion amidst the vibrant Native Quarter of this bustling city. Intriguingly, the photograph captures an amalgamation of diverse elements that define Indian culture and history. Standing tall against a backdrop of stunning architecture, soldiers are seen sheltering under umbrellas as they immerse themselves in the local market atmosphere. This juxtaposition highlights both the military presence during World War One and the everyday life unfolding around them. The rich tapestry of Hindu religion is evident through various visual cues within this snapshot. From intricately designed temples dotting the landscape to individuals adorned in traditional costumes, it becomes apparent how deeply ingrained spirituality is within Indian society. As we delve into this historical gem preserved at West Sussex Record Office, we cannot help but marvel at its significance beyond just documenting military activities. It serves as a window into an era where cultures intertwined and shaped one another amidst global conflict
