I know it's been mentioned on here recently but 30th June 2016 is the 100th anniversary of 'The Day Sussex Died' at Richebourg in Northern France or 'The Battle of the Boars Head'.
On May 1st, historian Paul Reed published this excellent history of The Southdowns Battalions online. It may be of interest to some of you.
” Men of Sussex:
You will not be separated !
Together you will train !
Together you will fight !
Together you will die if needs be, But
Together, pray God, you may return ! “
Claude Lowther, September 1914
