Regimental silver, 36th Sikhs, no date
Photograph.
The photograph shows, in the centre, a miniature obelisk very similar to a piece of regimental silver in the National Army Museum Collection which commemorates the 36th (Sikh) Regiment of Bengal Infantry’s last stand at Saragarhi on the North West Frontier of India in 1897. The obelisk is flanked by two silver figurine groups, each depicting three Sikh infantrymen. Regimental colours are visible behind the table on which the silver is positioned.
From an album of 30 photographs, impressed on the cover, ‘Jullundur 1887. Mardan 1937’; depicting scenes from the history of the 4/11th (formerly 36th) Sikhs Regiment, between 1887 and 1937.
