EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back to the bustling streets of Chamba in 1918. The image showcases a simple yet essential element of daily life - a water tap. Amidst the chaos and uncertainty of World War One, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the ordinary moments that soldiers encountered while stationed in India. The architecture surrounding the water tap is reminiscent of colonial influences, with its intricate design and ornate details. It serves as a reminder of British presence in India during this time period. The pump itself stands tall and sturdy, symbolizing resilience amidst adversity. As we delve deeper into this historical photograph, it becomes evident that it holds much more than meets the eye. Its inclusion within the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection speaks volumes about its significance to those who served in the 2nd/6th Battalion. This particular image was captured during October 1918, providing us with an invaluable window into their experiences during one of history's most tumultuous periods. While we may never fully comprehend what these brave soldiers endured on foreign soil, photographs like these allow us to connect with their stories on a personal level. They serve as poignant reminders of our shared past and highlight both individual acts of heroism and everyday scenes that shaped their lives
