EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic artifact from the British Indian Army - a shoulder title belonging to the Punjab Light Horse. Crafted in white metal, this shoulder title features the unit's initials, PLH, elegantly designed. The Punjab Light Horse was established in 1867 as part of the Cavalry Reserve and was stationed in Lahore. The significance of this shoulder title lies not only in its exquisite craftsmanship but also in its historical context. Following India's independence in 1947, the Punjab Light Horse was disbanded, marking an end to its long-standing service within the British Indian Army. Preserved within the prestigious Field Marshal Sir John Chapple Indian Army Collection at the National Army Museum in London, this artifact serves as a tangible reminder of an era gone by. It symbolizes both the bravery and dedication displayed by those who served under its banner and their contribution to maintaining peace and order during tumultuous times. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history captured through photography, we are transported back to a time when honor and duty were paramount values upheld by soldiers like those who proudly wore this shoulder title. This image is a testament to their unwavering commitment and serves as a poignant reminder of their sacrifice for our shared heritage.
