EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate design of a cap badge from the Zhob Militia in 1889. Created by the Pakistani School in the 19th century, this historic artifact is now housed at the National Army Museum in London. The badge itself is made of white metal and depicts a majestic mountain goat with short horns, standing proudly on top of a peak. Adorned with a scroll that reads "A Zhob Militia" this emblem represents the formation of this esteemed unit by William Raikes-Hodson in 1852. Comprised of Pashtun, Baluch, and Afghan soldiers, the Zhob Militia served as an essential reconnaissance force for both the Corps of Guides and Hodson's Horse. Over time, it evolved into what is now known as Pakistan's Frontier Corps - a paramilitary unit that continues to protect its borders today. Part of Field Marshal Sir John Chapple Indian Army Collection, this photograph not only captures an exquisite piece of history but also pays homage to those who have dedicated their lives to safeguarding their nation. Preserved through generations, this image serves as a reminder of bravery and sacrifice within military forces worldwide. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back to an era where honor and duty were paramount - forever immortalizing this remarkable cap badge from the Zhob Militia.
