EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the awe-inspiring beauty of the Taj Mahal in Agra, India. Taken in 1916 by an unknown photographer from the Royal Sussex Regiment, this image is part of their esteemed collection housed at West Sussex Record Office. The photograph showcases RSR 2 / 6th Battalion standing proudly against the backdrop of this architectural marvel. The soldiers' presence adds a sense of scale and perspective to the grandeur of the Taj Mahal. As they embarked on their journey during World War One, these brave men took a moment to appreciate one of India's most iconic landmarks. The Taj Mahal stands as a testament to love and devotion, with its intricate architecture and symmetrical design mesmerizing all who lay eyes upon it. The mausoleum's white marble gleams under the Indian sun while reflecting beautifully on the surrounding garden and pool. It is worth noting that this photo holds historical significance beyond its aesthetic appeal. It serves as a reminder that even amidst times of conflict like WW1, moments of respite and appreciation for cultural wonders can still be found. Preserved through time, this remarkable photograph offers us a glimpse into both history and artistry – capturing not only an extraordinary monument but also honoring those who served during challenging times.
