EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by Gregory & Co in 1896, showcases the remarkable Indian cavalrymen of that era. The image features a group portrait of several distinguished regiments including the Guides Cavalry, Central India Horse, 1st Bengal Cavalry (the famous 1st Irregulars), 9th Bengal Lancers (renowned as the 1st Hodsons Horse), 11th (Prince of Waless Own) Bengal Lancers, and more. Each cavalryman stands tall with pride, donning their distinctive headdresses and turbans that symbolize their rich cultural heritage. These brave men epitomize strength and valor as they serve under the British Army during this significant period in history. The Victorian-era military uniforms worn by these soldiers add an air of elegance to the composition. Their stoic expressions reflect their dedication to duty and commitment to protecting their country. This photograph offers us a glimpse into a time when India was under British rule – known as the British Raj – showcasing both the harmonious blend of Indian traditions within a colonial context. It serves as a reminder of the diverse cultures that coexisted during this tumultuous period. Preserved through time, this print from The Navy and Army Illustrated magazine allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind capturing such moments but also provides valuable insights into military personnel's lives during warfare in late nineteenth-century Hindoostan.
