EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group photograph captures the spirit of friendly competition and camaraderie among the soldiers of H Company, The Kings Regiment (Liverpool), as they celebrate their victory in the Cherat League football tournament held at Cherat Hill Station football ground in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, North-West Frontier, India, around 1907. The British Indian Army, a symbol of the colonial power during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was known for its extensive sports culture, with football being a popular pastime for the soldiers. The team members, dressed in their distinctive striped jerseys, proudly display their trophy and exchange hearty handshakes and pats on the back. The lush green hill station setting, with its picturesque backdrop of rolling hills and clear blue skies, adds to the idyllic atmosphere of the scene. The soldiers' determined expressions and jubilant body language suggest the intensity of the match and the immense satisfaction of emerging victorious. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the rich history of football in India during the colonial era and the unique experiences of the British Indian Army.
