EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Soldiers of the 45th Rattrays Sikhs, known as the Drums Jat Sikhs. The image is an illustration from Major G. F. MacMunn's book "Armies of India" published in 1911 but originally painted by Alfred Crowdy Lovett in 1908. The soldiers stand tall and proud, showcasing their impeccable military uniforms adorned with intricate details that symbolize their affiliation with the British Raj. Their turbans, a significant part of Sikh culture, add to their distinguished appearance. In this group portrait, each soldier holds a different instrument - drums - which they skillfully play as part of a marching band during parades or other ceremonial events. The rhythmic beats produced by these brave men echo through time, representing not only their musical talent but also their dedication to serving in the Indian Army. Their stoic expressions and well-groomed mustaches exude strength and discipline while hinting at the rich history behind each face. As members of one of India's most respected regiments, these soldiers played an essential role in maintaining order within the British Empire during its imperial era. Preserved for over a century at London's National Army Museum, this remarkable print serves as a powerful reminder of India's contribution to world history and its enduring connection to Britain. It stands as a testament to the bravery and sacrifice made by countless individuals who served under both flags on distant battlefields far from home.
