EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Army of India Medal, dating back to 1799-1826. The medal is beautifully adorned with clasps representing Kirkee and Poona, two significant locations during that era. Crafted by the Indian School in the 19th century, this historical artifact now resides in the National Army Museum in London. The medal holds a profound story as it was awarded to Jemadar Dawoodjee Israel, who served valiantly in the 2nd Bn, 1st Regiment of Bombay Native Infantry. It is closely associated with the Battle of Kirkee, which took place during the intense Maratha War from 1816-1819. As we delve into history through this image, we are transported to a time when bravery and sacrifice were honored on such medals. This particular piece symbolizes not only an individual's courage but also represents a larger army fighting for India. The silver medal bears witness to Queen Victoria's reign and serves as a reminder of her influence over British rule at that time. Its intricate design captures attention with its depiction of an Indian head surrounded by elements reminiscent of battle and victory. Preserved meticulously by Bridgeman Images for all to appreciate, this photograph offers us a glimpse into our past and invites us to reflect upon those who fought bravely for their homeland.
