EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic artifact from the 19th century - a shoulder title of the Zhob Militia, dating back to 1889. The white metal badge is intricately designed in the form of the unit's title, "A Zhob". The Zhob Militia was established by William Raikes-Hodson in 1852 and consisted of Pashtun, Baluch, and Afghan soldiers. Serving as a reconnaissance force for the Corps of Guides and Hodson's Horse, this unit played a crucial role in military operations during that time. Today, it is fascinating to learn that the legacy of the Zhob Militia lives on as a paramilitary unit within Pakistan's Frontier Corps. This speaks volumes about their enduring significance and contribution to national security. Part of Field Marshal Sir John Chapple Indian Army Collection at London's National Army Museum, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only its historical value but also its artistic beauty. The intricate details on this shoulder title reflect both craftsmanship and pride associated with military regalia. As we gaze upon this image captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of the rich history embedded within such artifacts. It serves as a testament to those who have served before us and their lasting impact on our world today.
