EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1912, where we witness a significant moment for the 5th Battalion of the Royal Sussex Regiment. The soldiers are gathered at Wadhurst Camp, their faces displaying determination and unity. Dressed immaculately in their uniforms, they stand tall with pride. In this particular scene, our attention is drawn to a group of soldiers engaged in an important practice session. One soldier wears a cap while another has his arm bandaged - evidence of injuries sustained during training or previous battles. It is clear that these brave men are preparing themselves for the harsh realities of war. The focus shifts to an instructor who passionately imparts first aid instructions to his attentive audience. With buckets placed nearby, symbolizing preparedness for any situation that may arise on the battlefield, it becomes evident that these soldiers are being equipped with essential skills beyond just combat. The atmosphere captured within this image exudes both discipline and camaraderie among comrades-in-arms. As we gaze upon this historical photograph from over a century ago, we cannot help but reflect on the sacrifices made by these valiant individuals who served their country selflessly during such tumultuous times. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's Royal Sussex Regiment Collection, this remarkable piece serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and resilience displayed by those who fought bravely in defense of freedom and justice throughout history.
