Camel India Indian Punjab Supplies Transport World War One
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back to the year 1917, during the tumultuous times of World War One. The image showcases a group of brave soldiers belonging to RSR 2 / 6th Battalion, standing proudly beside their invaluable second line transports in Burhan, India. The scene is filled with an air of resilience and determination as these men prepare for their arduous journey ahead. Amongst them are Indian soldiers hailing from Punjab, showcasing the diverse nature of this regiment and highlighting the global impact of this devastating war. What catches our attention immediately is the presence of camels - sturdy creatures that served as vital means of transport in these challenging terrains. These majestic animals were instrumental in carrying essential supplies across vast distances, ensuring that troops remained well-equipped even in remote locations. As we delve deeper into this historical snapshot, it becomes evident that this image holds immense significance beyond its aesthetic appeal. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during World War One and sheds light on lesser-known aspects such as transportation logistics and multinational cooperation within military operations. Preserved carefully by West Sussex County Council's Record Office under reference number RSR Uncat Acc 3284 Vol 1 2/6th Batt/106, this postcard-sized photograph encapsulates a moment frozen in time - one that honors those who played crucial roles behind-the-scenes while fighting for peace on distant battlefields.
