EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Kings Indian Orderly Officers, 1906" captures a significant moment in history. Taken by the renowned photographer C Vandyk in London, this image showcases a group of distinguished men who held prestigious positions as King's Indian Orderly Officers. Established by the Viceroy of India in 1903, these officers were carefully selected from both British and Indian backgrounds to serve during the London season from April to August. Their duties included attending court proceedings, official engagements, and grand ceremonies such as Trooping the Colour. In this photograph, we see Captain H Campbell of Queens Own Corps of Guides Cavalry at the center. Flanking him are Rissaldar Major Muhammad Ali Beg of 9th Hodsons Horse and Rissaldar Major Ali Gauhar Khan of 27th Light Cavalry. Seated on the left is Subadar Dalel Khan from 25th Mountain Battery while Subadar Major Alahdin from 130th Baluchis sits on the right. Part of a larger collection spanning several decades (1903-1938), this particular image offers an intriguing glimpse into a time when British-Indian relations were evolving within colonial India. Preserved by eNational Army Museum and made available through Bridgeman Images, this historical gem allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its cultural significance.
