Capt Cheyne Chitral Gordon Henderson Including Lieut Major Members Priest Ross Sawyer Sikh Sikhs Turbans 14th 1895


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment from the Chitral Expedition of 1895, an event of great historical significance in the British colonial history of South Asia. The image features six distinguished members of the expedition, including Lieut. Cheyne, Capt. C.R. Ross, Major Sawyer, Capt. Gordon, Lieut. Henderson, and a Sikh priest. The expedition, led by Major Francis Younghusband, was dispatched from India to secure British influence in the remote and strategically important region of Chitral, located in present-day Pakistan. The photograph was taken on April 13, 1895, and the members of the expedition are dressed in their military uniforms and traditional turbans. Among them, the Sikh priest stands out, adding a spiritual dimension to the scene. The 14th Ferozepore Sikhs, a regiment of the British Indian Army, were an integral part of the expedition, and the presence of their members is evident in this image. The Chitral Expedition was marked by several challenges, including harsh terrain, inclement weather, and resistance from local tribes. Despite these obstacles, the expedition was ultimately successful in securing British influence in the region. This photograph serves as a testament to the courage and determination of the British soldiers and their allies during this significant period in colonial history.
