EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back to the year 1918, amidst the chaos of World War One. The image showcases the impressive suspension bridge located in Chamba, India, a testament to both architectural brilliance and construction mastery. Stretching across a mighty river, this engineering marvel stands tall as a symbol of human ingenuity and perseverance. Its sturdy cables suspend with grace, connecting two sides that were once separated by nature's obstacle. In an era where infrastructure played a crucial role in military operations, this bridge served as a vital lifeline for troops stationed in Chamba. The photograph captures not only the physical structure but also echoes the resilience and determination exhibited during those turbulent times. As soldiers marched over its planks, they carried with them hopes for peace and victory on distant battlefields. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's extensive collection, this historical artifact offers us glimpses into an era long gone. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and honors those who contributed their skills to construct such remarkable structures under challenging circumstances. Let this image transport you back to October 1918 when men fought bravely on foreign soil while engineers built bridges that united nations. May we never forget their sacrifices nor cease to appreciate the wonders they left behind for generations to come.
