hamid%2Bgul.jpg

These photos are of officers of pakistan army armoured corps officers.
Firstly, i know that the special sash is a (BOSHDAN)
1-what is it's significance?
2-why only officers of armoured corps are entitled/allowed to wear it?
P.S @Xeric the (sam brownes belt) article doesnot mention boshdan!
Secondly,
If you notice General hamid gul's pic you will notice chain mail armour on the shoulder!
1-what is its significance?
Thirdly,
Is there any name of the other decorations e.g the chains on the BOSHDAN?
Fourthly,
why cavalry officers have the insignia of their regiments on their berets instead of the corps e.g officers of artillery only have the artillery insignia ön their berets!..?

@Xeric , @fatman17
@Last Hope please tell!

IS it SD or Mess dress? And notice the boshdan is quite simpler[bcoz of low rank] even by 19th century standards!

im still wondering what u meant by that!

ok I will end the suspense for you

Generals would normally avoid giving away an exaggerated emote or facial expression, it comes from the British military training of stiff upper lip. there are always exceptions like Gen Montgomery who did have a grimace but bless his soul he was fiery commander.

generally, the portrait pictures of generals might have a pleasant expression but thats all
they will keep their anger or happiness under control and normally you wont find them laughing out loud in an informal relaxed gathering.

the picture of this general (no disrespect to him) was a bit odd. you pressed it so I said it.

Gen Sahabzada Yakub Khan for you
