103rd Mahratta


Subadar, 1910


A Dekhani Mahratta. The medal he wears appears to be green and blue striped which would put it as Ashanti 1900. The tunic is scarlet with the unusual black facings and gold lace. He has a crimson sash round his waist where the Subadar 1903 photo shows a leather belt. The blue trousers are tucked into khaki puttees and worn with brown boots.
