EDITORS COMMENTS
The print showcases Mauladad Khan Sirdar Bahadur, a distinguished military figure adorned with the 1st Class Order of Merit. This image was captured by an unknown photographer in India around 1865. The photograph is currently housed at the National Army Museum in London. Mauladad Khan (1822-1890) was a highly respected individual who held the prestigious Order of Merit, an award established in 1837 by the East India Company to honor exceptional bravery among native members of its forces. His title, Sirdar Bahadur, can be roughly translated as Exalted Chief. Originally known as the 8th Regiment of Punjab Infantry, the 20th (Punjab) Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry came into existence during the Indian Mutiny from 1857 to 1859 under Lieutenant Charles Henry Brownlow's leadership. This regiment played a vital role during this tumultuous period in Indian history. The print is part of a larger album containing 223 photographs that were gifted to the Royal Military College Sandhurst by the esteemed 14th Punjab Regiment in1937. It serves as a historical artifact that provides insight into both Mauladad Khan's remarkable achievements and his significant contribution to military endeavors during his time.
