EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the essence of the Gun Lascar Corps of Ceylon in 1892, a British colonial military unit that played a significant role in the history of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) during the 19th century. The image features a group of Lascar soldiers, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, standing at attention while a cornet blows a call to order. The Gun Lascar Corps of Ceylon was formed in 1854 to provide labor and military support for the British colonial administration. The soldiers were primarily recruited from the Indian subcontinent, specifically from the Malabar Coast, and were known for their expertise in handling artillery. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of these colonial troops, who were an integral part of the British military presence in Ceylon during the late 19th century. The soldiers are seen standing in a disciplined formation, their uniforms neatly pressed and adorned with various insignia and medals. The cornet, a symbol of military authority, adds to the sense of order and hierarchy within the ranks. The image also serves as a reminder of the complex history of colonialism and its impact on the people of Ceylon. The Gun Lascar Corps of Ceylon, like many other colonial military units, represented both the power and the exploitation of the British colonial regime. The soldiers, who were often subjected to harsh conditions and meager wages, played a crucial role in maintaining the British colonial rule in Ceylon. Overall, this photograph is an important historical record of the Gun Lascar Corps of Ceylon and the role they played in the colonial military history of the region. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the lives of colonial soldiers and the complex dynamics of colonialism in Ceylon during the late 19th century.
