RSR 2 / 6th Battalion, Massey Gate, Lahore 1918 - A Glimpse into the Rich History of British India
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back to the year 1918 in Lahore, India. The image showcases a bustling market scene at Massey Gate, where vibrant colors and diverse cultures intertwine. Against a backdrop of stunning architecture, we witness an intriguing blend of colonial influence and local traditions. In this snapshot frozen in time, a cart laden with goods stands prominently amidst the hustle and bustle. It serves as a reminder of the vital role played by trade and commerce during that era. The market-goers are seen engrossed in their daily activities - bartering for produce or admiring handcrafted items displayed on stalls. Beyond its commercial significance, this photograph also holds deeper historical value. It captures members of the esteemed RSR (Royal Sussex Regiment) 2 / 6th Battalion stationed in Lahore during World War One (WW1). These brave soldiers were part of Britain's defense efforts while simultaneously experiencing life within an unfamiliar land. The architectural marvels surrounding them reflect both Indian heritage and British colonial influences prevalent at that time. This juxtaposition symbolizes not only military presence but also cultural exchange between two worlds. Preserved meticulously by West Sussex County Council's Record Office under reference number RSR Uncat Acc 3284 Vol 2/6th Batt/266, this extraordinary glimpse into history
