EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the surprising and unusual sight of four Gurkha pipers playing their bagpipes during the First World War. The image, taken in 1915, shows these Nepalese soldiers of the British Indian Army, clad in their distinctive uniforms and turbaned headgear, as they stand in formation on the Western Front in France. The use of bagpipes, an instrument traditionally associated with Scottish and Irish military units, may seem an unlikely choice for the Gurkhas. However, this musical tradition was adopted by the British Army during the colonial era, and the Gurkhas became renowned for their expertise in playing these pipes. The haunting melody of the bagpipes would have provided a sense of familiarity and continuity for the British soldiers, while also serving as a morale-boosting presence for the troops in the midst of the horrors of war. This image offers a rare glimpse into the multicultural and diverse nature of the British Indian Army during the First World War, and the resilience and adaptability of its soldiers in the face of adversity.
