EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transport us back in time to the British Garrison at Deolali, located in the vibrant Nashik District of Maharashtra, India, around the turn of the 20th century. The image showcases a group of British soldiers and officers gathered outside the Billiard Room, their relaxed demeanor a stark contrast to the intense training and rigorous military life they led within the garrison's walls. Deolali, also known as Devlali, holds a unique place in British military history. The name of the town is the origin of the British slang term "doolally tap," which roughly translates to "camp fever." This term emerged during the long waits for ships back to Britain, during which soldiers, particularly those stationed in India, were known to experience a sense of restlessness, anxiety, and even apparent madness. By the 1940s, the term had been shortened to simply "doolally." The soldiers in this photograph appear to be enjoying a moment of leisure, their uniforms neatly pressed and their faces relaxed as they engage in conversation or perhaps plan their next game of billiards. The lush greenery surrounding the Billiard Room, with its flowerpots and pots adorning the windowsills, adds to the serene atmosphere. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when the British Empire reached its zenith and the world was connected in ways never before imagined. It serves as a poignant reminder of the human stories that lie beneath the historical record, and the complex interplay of culture, history, and human emotion that shaped the British presence in India.
