EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, published in The Illustrated London News on November 18, 1882, showcases a significant moment in the history of British India and the Sikh community. The image depicts officers and men of the 13th Bengal Lancers, a regiment of the British Indian Army, during their deployment in Egypt. Among the soldiers, we find the distinguished figure of Urbel Singh, a Sikh soldier wearing his traditional turban. During the late 19th century, the British Empire expanded its territories in Asia and Africa, leading to an increased need for a strong military presence. The Indian Army, composed primarily of native soldiers, played a crucial role in the colonization process. Sikh soldiers, known for their bravery and discipline, were highly valued in the British Indian Army. In this engraving, we see the diverse makeup of the British Indian Army, reflecting the multicultural nature of the British Empire. The soldiers are dressed in their uniforms, displaying the pride and dedication to their service. The image serves as a testament to the complex history of militarism and colonization during the British Raj, as well as the role of communities like the Sikhs within this larger historical context. The intricately detailed engraving, created by P. Rotger for Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the lives of soldiers during this era. This vertical, upright, color image is a captivating reminder of the rich history shared between India, Egypt, and the British Empire.
