EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic cap badge from the Zhob Militia, dating back to 1889. The badge, made of white metal, depicts a majestic mountain goat with short horns standing proudly on the peak of a mountain. Adorned with the inscription "A Zhob Militia" this emblem symbolizes the bravery and strength of this renowned military unit. Formed by William Raikes-Hodson in 1852, the Zhob Militia consisted of Pashtun, Baluch, and Afghan soldiers who served as an essential reconnaissance force for both the Corps of Guides and Hodson's Horse. Their primary role was to gather vital intelligence during military operations. Despite its rich history, it is fascinating to note that the Zhob Militia still exists today as a paramilitary unit within Pakistan's Frontier Corps. This enduring legacy speaks volumes about their dedication and contribution to national security throughout generations. Housed at London's National Army Museum as part of Field Marshal Sir John Chapple Indian Army Collection, this rare artifact offers us a glimpse into the past. Preserved through time, it serves as a reminder of valorous individuals who have dedicated their lives in service to their country. Bridgeman Images has masterfully captured this historical treasure through Fine Art Finder. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time - appreciating not only its artistic beauty but also honoring those who have selflessly defended our nations throughout history.
