BTW. Did you see that the photographer did everything to get a nice picture of the different uniforms against a neutral background? Not to close together so you can see many details, lance pennons fluttering, .... Except the that he should have made them to make two passes to their left in order to avoid that ugly pipe.

Hello Peter,
Yes, I'm afraid that the monochrome photographs of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries really don't do justice to some magnificent uniforms. Notwithstanding, I myself don't much like the Alkalak or the Kurta and it is important to remember that not all European officers, depending upon the particular regiment concerned, actually wore them in the nineteenth century anyway, of course, at the turn of the twentieth, they became almost a fashion statement. When they were worn, even the plain field service order versions looked superb in particular with the given regiments colourful Lungi. Kind regards Frank |

A challenge to the rest of us: '10 to go'!
Frank, I agree that not all BOs wore the Indian styles but while I don't like the 'bib style' alkalak worn by the man from the 9th I personally find the kurta an attractive cut - very simple, so lending itself to 'accessorizing' with belts, embroidery and so on. But that's a personal aesthetic judgement on which we can easily differ! |
