The image showcases RSR 2 / 6th Battalion stationed in Surianalle, Travancore, India. As we delve into the frame, our eyes are immediately drawn to the breathtaking view of Leslies garden and grounds that stretch out before us. The landscape is a mesmerizing blend of vibrant colors and lush greenery. A myriad of flowers adorns the scene, their delicate petals swaying gently in the breeze. It's as if nature itself has painted this picturesque setting with its own brushstrokes. In the foreground, an inviting seat beckons weary soldiers to rest their tired bodies amidst this tranquil oasis.
