RSR 2 / 6th Battalion, A Trooptrain Halt - A Glimpse into the Lives of Soldiers during World War One
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection offers a poignant snapshot of life during World War One. Captured between 1916 and 1919, it showcases soldiers from the RSR's 2nd/6th Battalion taking a well-deserved break at a troop train halt in India. In this scene, we witness these brave men finding solace amidst the chaos of war. As they gather around an old-fashioned tap, their faces light up with anticipation for some much-needed refreshment. The presence of towels suggests that cleanliness was also valued even in such challenging circumstances. The photograph serves as a reminder that even in times of conflict, moments of respite and recreation were cherished by those serving on the frontlines. It captures not only their physical needs but also their desire for camaraderie and normalcy amid extraordinary circumstances. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's extensive collection, this image provides us with valuable insights into history while honoring the sacrifices made by these courageous soldiers. Let us remember them as individuals who faced unimaginable hardships yet found strength through unity and simple pleasures like sharing a drink or drying off after washing up
