EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Royal Artillery Cricket teams in India, circa 1864. The image showcases two cricket teams representing A a and A BA Batteries, 18th Brigade of the Royal Artillery. These teams were stationed at Kurrachee (now Karachi, Pakistan) during this time period. The photo is part of an album compiled by Lieutenant General Brabazon Henry Pottinger, who served in the Royal Artillery in Bombay from around 1864 to 1866. Pottinger was born on September 18,1840, and had a distinguished military career that included service in India and Abyssinia. In this portrait-style group photograph, the players are seen posing together with their cricket gear.

This image offers viewers a window into both sporting culture and military life during the mid-19th century.
