EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "RSR 2 / 6th Battalion, Zoological Gardens, Mysore 1916" offers a fascinating glimpse into history. Taken during World War One, this image showcases the brave soldiers of the Royal Sussex Regiment stationed in India. The soldiers are seen standing proudly in front of the picturesque backdrop of the Zoological Gardens in Mysore. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its historical context but also in the intricate details it reveals. A closer look at the reverse side shows markings indicating that it belonged to the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection and is stored at West Sussex Record Office. Its reference number is RSR Uncat Acc 3284 Vol 1 2/6th Batt/087. Dated back to 1916, this postcard captures a moment frozen in time amidst one of humanity's darkest periods. Notably, there is an intriguing detail: someone has crossed out "Germany" on the note written on the postcard—a subtle reminder of ongoing tensions during wartime. With its connection to places like Lewes and Bangalore, this print becomes even more significant as it represents not just a military unit but also a testament to global involvement during WWI. It serves as a poignant reminder of sacrifice and resilience exhibited by these courageous men who found themselves thousands of miles away from home
