Well, now there is a THIRD — and 2 versions of it, one full figure, the other close-up. Here is a very recent addition to my ever-so-slight but still existent “Hyderabad Contingent” pictures collection — a beautiful color print of a “Camel Gunner” from the Nizam’s 3rd Regiment of Cavalry. The book it’s in showed up today and when I opened it up this picture was on the first page I saw, so I felt I needed to post it here, for Don Sebastian’s sake. Don, if you do visit and enjoy the view, do me a favor and please leave a comment on this post if you can.
Only two, from the 1840’s but I’m posting both — one from W. Y. Carman’s INDIAN ARMY UNIFORMS UNDER THE BRITISH FROM THE 18TH CENTURY TO 1947 – CAVALRY (1961) and one from ARTILLERY, ENGINEERS AND INFANTRY (1969) — for Don Sebastian from TMP, who is looking for info on the Nazim of Hyderabad’s troops during the Indian Mutiny:
