EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1918, amidst the chaos of World War One. The image showcases a scene from the temple courtyard in Chamba, India, where members of the Royal Sussex Regiment's 2nd/6th Battalion were stationed. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, our eyes are immediately drawn to the magnificent architecture that surrounds them. The temple's grandeur is evident in every detail captured by the photographer's lens. The intricate carvings on its walls and pillars speak volumes about India's rich cultural heritage. A majestic bell hangs prominently near an ornate door, perhaps signaling a momentous occasion or marking time for these brave soldiers. It is impossible not to wonder what thoughts occupied their minds as they stood within this sacred space during such tumultuous times. Did they find solace in its serene atmosphere? Or did it serve as a reminder of how far they were from home? As we reflect on this remarkable photograph, let us remember those who fought valiantly during WW1 and pay tribute to their courage and sacrifice. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the human spirit prevailing even amidst war-torn landscapes.
