Did you have a relative
who served in The Royal
If so we would like to know about them.
We are keen to add further information and soldiers stories to the
website. If you have information about anyone who served in The Royal Sussex
Regiment during the Victorian or WWI periods, or any other period, please let
us have details, especially if you have photographs which could identify
members of the Regiment from days gone by.
Information on those who died during the Great War is reasonably
easy to obtain at a basic level, for those who survived, there is little
information available. Please help us to increase the knowledge about WWI
survivors by telling us about your relatives.
