I have had several close looks at the demonstration of Indian troops towards the camera. Some of the soldiers carry Martini-Henry .45" rifles, some appear to carry Martini-Enfield .303" rifles (judging by the under-barrel bayonet) and at least one chap carries a rifle with no bayonet at all. No matter where it was photographed, the excellent drill is what one would expect from the Indian Army.

IL.

The Mysore Imperial Service Lancers arrived a couple of weeks ago. So after mounting her up with the KSA ribbon this afternoon I thought we ought to muster for a group photograph.

A spectacular sight, especially if one has an inkling of what the medals represent. You must be a very happy collector! Thank you for sharing with us.

Very nice well done.

Have you ever been lucky with re-unites as I see some of the groups are missing the odd medal?

1st and 4th in the third row are reunited groups. The double issue of the 1st group IGS was sold ex DNW so potentially... That is why there are two IGS 54 ribbons
