EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the West Sussex Record Office offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of soldiers serving in the Royal Sussex Regiment during World War One. The image showcases Lieutenant Lunn and his comrades aboard HMT Ceramic, presumed to be taken during their voyage to India. The focal point of the photograph is undoubtedly the ship's funnel towering above them, symbolizing their journey towards an uncertain future. As they navigated through treacherous waters, these brave men found solace in moments of recreation amidst their duties. Here we see Lieutenant Lunn engaged in a friendly game of quoit with fellow officers on deck. In this snapshot frozen in time, one can almost feel the camaraderie and respite that these soldiers sought amidst the chaos of war. It serves as a reminder that even amid adversity, humanity finds ways to connect and find joy. As we reflect upon this historical artifact from West Sussex County Council's archives, it is important to honor those who served selflessly for our freedom. This photograph not only captures a moment but also encapsulates an era defined by sacrifice and resilience
