EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "With the Chindwin Force in Upper Burma" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, captures the bravery and resilience of Sepoy Drigpal Singh from the 18th Bengal Infantry. In this intense scene, we witness Sepoy Drigpal Singh swimming down the treacherous Chindwin River with a raft filled with dead bodies, wounded soldiers, and essential baggage. This perilous journey follows an affair at Ooyona during which he displayed unwavering courage amidst chaos and danger. The image not only showcases the military might of the Chindwin Force but also highlights the immense sacrifices made by soldiers like Sepoy Drigpal Singh. His determination to save lives and ensure that vital supplies reach their destination is truly commendable. As we gaze upon this historic engraving, it serves as a poignant reminder of both human strength and vulnerability. It prompts us to reflect on the harsh realities faced by those serving in conflict zones throughout history. This remarkable artwork was originally published in The Graphic on April 16,1887. Preserved within private collections for years, its release into public domain allows us to appreciate its historical significance while honoring those who have selflessly served their countries.
