Off to Join My Regiment
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Glimpse into 19th Century Military Life This engraving, titled "Off to Join My Regiment" offers a fascinating snapshot of military life in the 19th century. Created by an English School artist and part of a private collection, this print transports us back to February 5,1881. The scene unfolds at Charing Cross as soldiers prepare for their journey from London to Candahar. The hustle and bustle is palpable as troops gather on deck, horses are watered by ekka carriages, and the excitement of departure fills the air. Amidst it all, a lively waltz ensues on board while passengers bid farewell to loved ones. As we delve deeper into the image's details, we notice various elements that highlight both the challenges and allure of this expedition. From traversing treacherous hills in Bombay to navigating through the Red Sea towards Suez and Brindisi, these brave men face numerous obstacles en route to their destination in Candahar. The print also captures glimpses of daily life during travel: ladies barricading themselves against potential dangers; locals observing with curiosity; H. M mails being transported alongside troops; shaded areas providing respite from scorching sunrays. Overall, "Off to Join My Regiment" not only showcases historical transport methods like dak gharrys but also provides insights into Indian culture and society during this period. It serves as a vivid reminder of the courage
