EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a distant view of the British Garrison at Deolali, located in the Nashik District of Maharashtra, India. The image, taken in the 1920s, showcases a serene and picturesque scene of the military camp, with its well-ordered buildings and barracks nestled amidst the lush greenery of the Indian countryside. In the foreground, British soldiers and officers can be seen gathered outside the billiard room, engaged in leisurely activities and enjoying the tranquility of the camp. The name Deolali holds a unique place in British military history, as it is the source of the British slang term "doolally tap," which roughly translates to "camp fever." This term originated from the apparent madness experienced by soldiers waiting for ships back to Britain, and by the 1940s had been shortened to simply "doolally." The scene depicted in this photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the British military personnel stationed in India during the colonial era. The presence of a shepherd and his herd of cattle in the background adds to the idyllic atmosphere, highlighting the contrast between the military camp and the rural Indian landscape. The image is a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural exchange that took place between Britain and India during this period.
