EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Poona Horse" regiment, captured in 1936 by an unknown creator. The Poona Horse was initially established as a regular cavalry regiment in the Bombay Presidency army of the East India Company during British colonial rule. This image is extracted from the book "Military Uniforms of the British Empire Overseas" published by John Player & Sons in 1936. In this picture, a distinguished soldier stands proudly outside a grand building, adorned with medals that symbolize his bravery and service to the British Indian Army. He wears a striking blue military uniform with intricate detailing, complemented by his traditional turban or headdress. The man's presence exudes strength and honor as he holds onto his sword firmly. This photograph not only captures the essence of military life but also reflects upon Britain's imperialistic era in India during the early 20th century. It serves as a reminder of how colonialism shaped both countries' histories. "The Poona Horse, 1936" is more than just an image; it represents an important chapter in British-Indian relations and highlights the significant role played by armed forces during this time period. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to an era defined by power struggles and cultural exchange between nations - a testament to our shared past that continues to shape our present world.
