Photograph, India, 1945.
Major-General Russell is shown talking to the Head Clerk, Lieutenant Ghulam Hussain and Colonel C E Morris DSO at the regimental centre of the 13th Frontier Force Rifles.
From an album presented to the Royal Military College, Sandhurst. The album was compiled in 1938 by an instructor, Captain (later Brigadier) Hubert Gervais Lennox Brain (1901-1993), 6th Royal Battalion, 13th Frontier Force Rifles, to give officer cadets in England an idea of what service in the Indian Army was like. In 1974, the album now part of the National Army Museum Collection, was enhanced with photographs from 1939-1947 to fill the remaining pages.
