EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection offers a glimpse into the extraordinary efforts made by the brave soldiers of the 2/6th Battalion during World War One. Taken in India between 1916 and 1919, this photograph showcases various innovative methods employed for transporting wounded soldiers. In this remarkable image, we witness an amalgamation of ancient and modern techniques as our valiant troops adapt to their challenging surroundings. A majestic camel stands tall at the forefront, its sturdy frame providing a unique mode of transportation across treacherous terrains. Alongside it, stretcher-bearers demonstrate their unwavering commitment to saving lives by carefully carrying injured comrades on stretchers. The resourcefulness displayed in this snapshot extends further as a mule is seen equipped with medical supplies and provisions - an ingenious solution that ensures swift assistance even in remote areas where vehicles cannot reach. This poignant scene encapsulates both resilience and compassion amidst the chaos of war. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's extensive archives, this historical artifact serves as a testament to the sacrifices made by these gallant men who selflessly served their country during one of humanity's darkest hours. Let us honor their memory and pay tribute to their unwavering dedication to duty.
