[OrionHunter]

Hi guys! Here are some amazing photographs for your album of the British Indian Army in Pakistan and India (Mostly Pakistan).

Enjoy!

Soldiers Home, Rawalpindi 1902

1919. Photograph by Randolph Bezzant Holmes (1888-1973), India, North West Frontier, Indian Army Camel Corps in Miran Shah. From an album, by Neville John Gordon Cameron, 1st Bn Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders.

British officer with his family, Mooltan, 1877.

Football match 1903. (RACE COURSE MURREE).

Officers of the 2nd Batallion, Worcestershire Regiment, Waziristan, British India, 1940. The vehicle is a Crossley "Indian Pattern" armoured car. These were developed in the interwar period for internal security duties in Northern India, based on a Crossley truck chassis. Substantial British and Indian Army forces were occupied in internal security in India during WW2, as the possibility of insurgency (encouraged by the proximity of Japanese forces from 1942) was a substantial concern. "Indian Pattern" armoured cars remained in service until Indian and Pakistani independence in 1947. The model here (like most others) was reconditioned in 1939; in the course of which the worn-out Crossley chassis was replaced with a Chevrolet truck chassis.

^ Beautiful photographs! I liked the 32nd Mess House!

The depressing fact is that only a handful of Britishers ruled over whole of India. To top that no one in the subcontinent even had the will to put up a united front militarily. The mutineers were killed by Indians aswell, to add insult to injury.

Clever tactics get you.

Does Lahore have these facilities like polo, tennis, dancing, racing, golf and so on even today? I had the opportunity of only visiting Anarkali bazaar to gorge on the world's best Kababs, as time was short!!
