EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back to 1918, during the tumultuous times of World War One. The image showcases members of the RSR 2 / 6th Battalion, dressed in vibrant costumes and proudly displaying their musical talents as Peonu Players. The musicians are seen holding stringed instruments, which they skillfully play with precision and passion. Their music fills the air, creating a harmonious atmosphere that transcends borders and brings people together. It is a testament to the power of art and culture amidst the chaos of war. Presumed to be taken at Dalhousie in India, this photograph captures a moment of respite for these brave soldiers. In their elaborate costumes, they not only showcase their dedication to duty but also celebrate their rich heritage through music. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by these men during WW1. They not only fought on foreign soil but also found solace in creativity and camaraderie. This print serves as a poignant reminder of our shared history and highlights the importance of preserving such artifacts for future generations. Thanks to West Sussex County Council's efforts in maintaining this valuable collection at West Sussex Record Office Ref No: RSR Uncat Acc 3284 Vol 2 2/6th Batt/218, we can delve into our past and gain insight into moments like these that shaped our world today.
