RSR 2 / 6th Battalion, Waziristan 1917 - A Glimpse into the Harsh Realities of World War One
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back to the year 1917 in Waziristan, India. The image showcases a crucial aspect of military operations during World War One - supplies and transport. In this rugged mountainous landscape, we witness an intricate network of mules and horses diligently carrying essential provisions across treacherous terrain. These brave animals were lifelines for soldiers stationed in remote regions like Waziristan, ensuring that vital resources reached them despite the challenging conditions. The backdrop reveals a picturesque river flowing through the valley, contrasting with the harsh realities faced by these troops far away from home. Tents dotting the landscape serve as temporary shelters for weary soldiers seeking respite amidst their arduous duties. This postcard-sized glimpse into history reminds us of the sacrifices made by those who served in WW1. It captures not only a moment frozen in time but also represents countless untold stories of courage and resilience exhibited by our ancestors on foreign soil. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's extensive collection, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our shared history and pays tribute to all those who fought valiantly during one of humanity's darkest periods.
