EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back to the 1860s in India, where the 6th Regiment Native Infantry, a distinguished regiment of the British Army, is proudly displayed. The image, taken around 1864, showcases a group of officers in their grand uniforms, exuding an air of authority and sophistication. During the 19th century, the British East India Company ruled over large parts of India, and the British Army played a significant role in maintaining order and expanding the company's territories. The 6th Regiment Native Infantry, also known as the Dacca Regiment, was formed in 1854, primarily composed of native Indian soldiers. The regiment saw action in various campaigns, including the Second Anglo-Burmese War and the Indian Mutiny. The officers in this photograph are dressed in their full regimental uniforms, which include scarlet jackets, white trousers, and distinctive turban-like headgear known as the "paggba." The intricate details of their uniforms, such as the gold braid and buttons, are a testament to the meticulous attention given to military dress during this era. As we gaze at this image, we are transported back in time, offering us a glimpse into the rich history and culture of the British Army in India during the 1860s. This photograph is an essential addition to any collection focusing on military history, Victorian era fashion, or travel and tourism during the 1870s, 1880s, and 1890s.
