With the Sikkim Expeditionary Force - A Glimpse into a Treacherous Journey
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, offers a fascinating glimpse into the perilous world of the Sikkim Expeditionary Force. The image captures a night scene filled with mystery and danger. In this print, we witness brave soldiers of the expeditionary force navigating through treacherous terrain as they face off against evil spirits lurking in the shadows. Hung ominously above them is a booby trap, serving as a constant reminder of potential attacks from Tibetan forces. The military men are seen carrying bags filled with essential supplies for their journey, while some engage in Tibetan worship by spinning prayer wheels and wearing protective amulets made of glass charms. One soldier blows on his trumpet to signal readiness for battle. As our eyes wander across the scene, we notice various elements that highlight both cultural differences and shared humanity. Human skulls and bones are displayed alongside drums and bamboo articles used by Tibetans. Bedding made of tibbits cloth can be seen scattered around makeshift campsites. In contrast to these raw surroundings, there is also evidence of civilization present - Buddhist monasteries adorned with brass lamps stand tall amidst nature's grandeur. The soldiers' camp near Darjeeling showcases upholstered beds and other furnishings that provide comfort amid harsh conditions. This engraving not only captures an important historical moment but also invites us to reflect on themes such as bravery
