EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Pugri badge of the Calcutta Mounted Volunteer Rifles, dating back to 1881-1887. Crafted in silver and adorned with Queen Victoria's Crown, crossed rifles, and the unit's CMVR monogram, this badge symbolizes the valor and dedication of its members. The pugri or pagri, seen here as part of the headdress worn by these brave soldiers, adds an element of cultural significance to this artifact. The Calcutta Mounted Volunteer Rifles were initially established as the Calcutta Volunteer Lancers in 1872 but underwent a name change in 1881. By 1886, they transformed into the Calcutta Light Horse and became an auxiliary unit within the Indian Army Cavalry Reserve. As India gained independence in 1947, marking a significant turning point in its history, so too did it mark the disbandment of this esteemed cavalry unit. However, through this stunning image captured by British School artists from the 19th century and preserved at London's National Army Museum today as part of Field Marshal Sir John Chapple Indian Army Collection; we can still appreciate their legacy. This photograph is not just a glimpse into military history but also serves as a testament to India's rich heritage. It reminds us that behind every emblem lies stories of sacrifice and bravery that deserve recognition for generations to come.
