EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph album, compiled by Lt Col H.B. Holt, offers a fascinating glimpse into the School of Musketry at Deolali during the late 19th century, with a focus on its connection to India and the Boer War (1899-1902). The album, which consists of 35 photographs from Mary Evans Prints Online, dates back to 1898. The School of Musketry at Deolali, located in present-day Maharashtra, India, was a significant military training institution during the British Raj. The photographs in this album showcase various aspects of the school, including its infrastructure, training regimens, and the officers and soldiers who attended. Some images depict the school's buildings, such as the drill square, barracks, and rifle range, while others capture the daily life and training routines of the soldiers. The album also includes a series of photographs taken in South Africa, which provide context to the School of Musketry's role during the Boer War. These images showcase various military scenes, including troops in action, encampments, and officers in the field. The connection between the School of Musketry and South Africa is further emphasized by the presence of Indian soldiers in some of the photographs, highlighting the multinational nature of the British military during this period. The photographs in this album offer a unique perspective on the British military during the late 19th century, providing insights into the training methods, infrastructure, and personnel of the School of Musketry at Deolali, as well as its role in the Boer War. The images are a testament to the rich history of military training and international cooperation that characterized this era.
