EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the brave soldiers of RSR 2 / 6th Battalion as they fearlessly cross the Haro River in 1917. The Royal Sussex Regiment Collection, housed at West Sussex Record Office, preserves this remarkable piece of history that sheds light on their valiant efforts during World War One. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a pivotal moment where supplies are being transported across the river. A group of determined soldiers can be seen leading mules loaded with essential provisions through the rushing waters. Their unwavering determination and resilience are evident as they navigate the challenging terrain. The location is Punjab, India - a region known for its rich cultural heritage and breathtaking landscapes. This photograph not only captures an important military operation but also offers glimpses into the diverse environments encountered by these courageous troops during their service abroad. As we reflect upon this image, it serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought in World War One. It symbolizes their commitment to duty and highlights their reliance on innovative methods such as using mules for transport amidst challenging circumstances. Preserved within West Sussex County Council's archive, this postcard-sized print provides us with a glimpse into history that should never be forgotten. It stands testament to the bravery and resourcefulness exhibited by these soldiers from RSR 2 / 6th Battalion during one of humanity's darkest periods.
