EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable fusion of two worlds - the grandeur of Mughal architecture and the valorous spirit of soldiers during World War One. Standing proudly in the frame is RSR 2, also known as the 6th Battalion of The Royal Sussex Regiment, with an unexpected backdrop: the iconic Taj Mahal in Agra, India. The photograph, carefully preserved within West Sussex Record Office's extensive collection, offers a glimpse into history and cultural exchange. Dated between 1916-19, it captures a poignant moment when these brave soldiers found themselves amidst one of India's most treasured monuments. The intricate details of this architectural masterpiece serve as a testament to human ingenuity and artistic brilliance. While its origins remain somewhat mysterious, there is speculation that H. A. Murza & Sons from Delhi may have been responsible for capturing this extraordinary image. Their signature adorns the corner in elegant script - a subtle reminder that even amid war-torn landscapes, artistry endures. This photograph transcends time and place; it encapsulates both beauty and sacrifice. It serves as a powerful symbol not only for those who fought bravely during World War One but also for the enduring legacy of Indian heritage. As we gaze upon this stunning composition today, let us remember those who stood before us with unwavering courage while marveling at the majesty that is eternally embodied by both man-made wonders and nature's creations alike.
