Army Flag Horse Tent World War One Deckchair
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the world of RSR 16th Battalion, Sussex Yeomanry. As we peer into this historical snapshot, we are transported to their campsite during the years spanning 1906-1917. The image showcases an array of elements that defined life in the army during World War One. The foreground is dominated by majestic horses, standing tall and proud alongside soldiers dressed in their military attire. These noble creatures were not just means of transportation but also loyal companions on the battlefield. In the distance, rows of tents stretch as far as the eye can see, forming a temporary home for these brave men who dedicated themselves to serving their country. A flag flutters proudly against a backdrop of clear blue skies - a symbol of unity and patriotism amidst uncertain times. Amidst this scene lies an unexpected touch: a solitary deckchair positioned near one tent. Perhaps it belonged to an officer seeking respite from his duties or provided comfort for those recovering from injuries sustained in battle. This poignant photograph encapsulates both the camaraderie and hardships experienced by those who served during WW1. It serves as a reminder of sacrifice and unwavering dedication exhibited by these soldiers throughout history. As part of West Sussex County Council's collection at West Sussex Record Office, this remarkable postcard allows us to connect with our past while honoring those who fought bravely for our freedom today.
