EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Pouch belt plate of the Central Bengal Light Horse, dating back to 1884-1901. Crafted in silver, this badge features an intricately designed monogram of the unit's initials, CBLH, written in an elaborate script. The Central Bengal Light Horse was an auxiliary force within the Indian Army that was established in 1884. It played a crucial role in maintaining law and order during its existence and later merged with the Calcutta Light Horse in 1901. However, as India gained independence in 1947, this esteemed unit was disbanded. Part of the Field Marshal Sir John Chapple Indian Army Collection at the National Army Museum in London, this artifact represents not only military prowess but also serves as a testament to India's rich heritage. The image captures every intricate detail of this historic relic and transports viewers back to a time when these brave soldiers protected their land with unwavering dedication. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this significant moment from history through their fine art photography collection. This photograph is more than just a visual representation; it symbolizes bravery, sacrifice, and unity - qualities that define both past and present generations.
