RSR 2 / 6th Battalion, Afghan Caravan, Khyber Pass - A Glimpse into the Forgotten Heroes of World War One
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back to a pivotal moment in history. Captured between 1916 and 1919 during World War One, it showcases the brave soldiers of RSR's 2nd/6th Battalion stationed in India. The image transports us to the rugged terrain of the legendary Khyber Pass. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness an extraordinary sight - a caravan winding its way through this treacherous mountain pass. The soldiers are seen expertly navigating their horses amidst rocky cliffs and steep slopes. Dressed in their distinctive uniforms, they exude strength and determination as they fulfill their duty far away from home. The photograph not only captures the essence of war but also offers a glimpse into the unique cultural tapestry that defined this era. The vibrant costumes worn by both soldiers and locals reflect the rich heritage of India. Preserved with care at West Sussex Record Office under reference number RSR Acc 4545 2/6th Batt/438, this remarkable image serves as a poignant reminder of those who fought valiantly for our freedom during World War One. Let us honor these unsung heroes whose sacrifices often go unnoticed. Their unwavering spirit continues to inspire generations today.
