Watercolour by unknown artist, 1859 circa.
The Jat Horse Yeomanry were established in 1857 for service during the Indian Mutiny (1857-1859). As unit after unit of the Bengal Army mutinied, the authorities were forced to raise whatever troops they could. Irregular regiments were formed primarily from the recently conquered lands of the Punjab and the North West Frontier. Many of these units would later form the backbone of the reorganised Indian Army. In 1861 the Jat Yeomanry was renamed the 14th Regiment of Bengal Cavalry.); eNational Army Museum; out of copyright

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Jat Horse Yeomanry at Bolwal on the Nepal Frontier in 1859. Painted with delicate watercolors by an unknown artist from the 19th century, this artwork now resides in the National Army Museum in London. The Jat Horse Yeomanry was established during the Indian Mutiny of 1857-1859 as a response to unit after unit of the Bengal Army mutinying. With limited resources, authorities had no choice but to raise irregular regiments from recently conquered lands like Punjab and the North West Frontier. These regiments would later become instrumental in reshaping and strengthening the Indian Army. In this scene, we witness a cavalry charge taking place amidst dense woodlands and natural features along the border frontier. The painting portrays not only their bravery but also highlights their tactical prowess during battle. It serves as a testament to their dedication and commitment towards protecting their homeland. The historical significance of this image cannot be understated, showcasing both military strategy and geographical context. As viewers gaze upon this remarkable piece, they are transported back to a time when these brave soldiers fought valiantly for their country's honor.
