EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the various types of uniforms worn by the 44th Gurkhas in 1896. The renowned artist duo, Bourne & Shepherd, beautifully captures three men from this esteemed regiment. Standing proudly, they represent different ranks and roles within the British Army. The first man depicted is a havildar (sergeant) dressed in a dark green drill order uniform. His attire exudes authority and discipline as he stands tall with his gun by his side. Next to him stands another havildar, this time wearing a heavy marching order khaki uniform. This outfit suggests readiness for battle, emphasizing their dedication to protecting their country. Lastly, we see a sepoy donning a drill order khaki uniform. Though not as high-ranking as the sergeants beside him, his presence is equally significant. Together, these men exemplify bravery and loyalty that are synonymous with Gurkha soldiers. The attention to detail in this photograph allows us to appreciate not only the intricate uniforms but also the unique headgear worn by each soldier. As we delve into history through this image captured over a century ago, it serves as a reminder of the rich military heritage shared between Nepal and Britain. This remarkable portrait immortalizes these gallant warriors who have dedicated their lives to serving their nation with honor and valor.
