EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection showcases the stunning Waziristan scenery in 1917. The image, captured by the brave soldiers of RSR 2 / 6th Battalion, takes us back to a significant era during World War One on the North-West Frontier of India. The photograph transports us to a serene landscape, untouched by war's chaos. A picturesque stream meanders through this idyllic scene, its crystal-clear waters reflecting the surrounding lush greenery and towering mountains. It is as if nature itself seeks solace amidst the turmoil of battle. In this tranquil setting, we witness a moment frozen in time - a respite for these courageous soldiers who fought valiantly in unfamiliar terrain. Their presence is felt but not seen; their footsteps may have left imprints on this very ground. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's archives, this postcard serves as a poignant reminder of those who served and sacrificed during WW1. It allows us to appreciate not only their bravery but also the beauty that existed even amidst such tumultuous times. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, let it serve as an everlasting tribute to all those who played their part in shaping history and remind us that even amid darkness, there can be moments of tranquility and hope.
