Indian Army veterans, 1930 (c)

Photograph, India, 1930 (c).

Indian and British veterans pose for a photograph during the regimental reunion of an unknown cavalry unit. The Indian personnel come from a variety of ethnic and religious backgrounds, as is evident from the flamboyant lunghi headress of a Pathan inhabitant of the North West Frontier and the turban of the Sikh of the Punjab.

From an album of photographs, letters and newspaper cuttings associated with the 18th King George's Own Lancers, 19th Lancers (Fane's Horse) and 19th King George's Own Lancers, 1858-1961; inscribed on cover, 'Presented by the 19th KGV's Own Lancers Ex-officers Reunion Association 1958', with a foreword by Major General Roland Dening, 1960.
