EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "The Prince of Wales in India: native soldiers distinguished for their services, 1876," captures a moment of recognition and appreciation for the brave native soldiers who served in the British Indian Army during the late 19th century. The image was created by renowned Scottish artist and illustrator, William Simpson, for the Illustrated London News. The Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, is seen in the center, surrounded by a group of distinguished native officers, each with their own unique stories of valor and loyalty. Among them are Major Maun Sing, a senior native officer of the 9th Bengal Cavalry, who served at the siege of Delhi and was badly wounded, losing his horse and receiving fourteen sword-cuts in the process. Nawab Gholam Hussan Khan, a chief of the Alagaie clan in the Derajat, joined the British forces during the siege of Mooltan and again in the war of 1857. Subadar Major Nutha Sing, a Sirdar Bahadoor of the 23rd Punjaub Pioneers, played a crucial role in raising a large body of his countrymen for service in the British ranks during the mutiny. Ressaldar Maun Sing, a Goorkha in the 10th Bengal Lancers, is the only mounted Goorkha in the Army, making him a unique and exceptional figure. Lastly, Subadar Bussunt Sing, a Sikh, remained faithful to the British when his regiment, composed of men from Oudh, mutinied. This photograph serves as a testament to the diverse and multifaceted nature of the British Indian Army, where soldiers from various ethnic and religious backgrounds came together to serve their country and protect the British Raj. It is a poignant reminder of the complex history of colonialism and the role of native soldiers in shaping it.
