EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating photograph showcases the India Medal 1895-1902, featuring Sepoy Jiwa Singh from the 15th Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry, famously known as The Ludhiana Sikhs. This remarkable metal print is a creation by the British School in the 19th century and can be found at the National Army Museum in London. The India Medal holds immense historical significance, adorned with four clasps representing Relief of Chitral 1895, Punjab Frontier 1897-98, Samana 1897, and Tirah 1897-98. It was specifically awarded to Sepoy Jiwa Singh for his valiant service in the regiment. Replacing its predecessor - the India General Service Medal - which had been granted for minor campaigns on the subcontinent since 1854, this medal held great prestige among sepoys. While silver medals were bestowed upon sepoys like Jiwa Singh himself, Indian bearers and servants received bronze ones. This exceptional photograph not only captures an exquisite piece of history but also pays tribute to those brave soldiers who served their country with unwavering dedication. The image serves as a reminder of their sacrifices and valor while guarding border frontiers. Displayed by Bridgeman Images on Fine Art Finder platform, this print allows us to appreciate both the artistic beauty of this medal and its historical significance within a broader geographical context. Let it serve as a testament to our shared heritage and admiration for those who have defended our borders throughout history.
