Summary

Description
English: A Tanoli of the Guides (Lumsden's) Infantry, and an Afridi Daffadar of the Guides Cavalry, 1908 (c)

Watercolour by Major Alfred Crowdy Lovett (1862-1919), 1908 (c).

The infantry sepoy stands with rifle butt on the ground; the daffadar with his hands clasped in front of him. The Queen's Own Corps of Guides were the first military force to adopt khaki as a service dress, in 1849. They consisted of a unique combination of infantry companies and cavalry squadrons. After World War One the infantry element was incorporated in the 12th Frontier Force Regiment and the Guides Cavalry formed a separate regiment.

This is the original artwork for an illustration in Major G F MacMunn's 'Armies of India', published in 1911.
