| The whole regiment posed for this photo that was published in the Navy and Army Illustrated magazine dated 10th Dec 1897. There are eight companies of approximately 70 men each. In 1914 the composition of these companies was 4 of Madrasi Muslims, 2 of Tamils and 2 of Paraiyans and Christians. Four of the British officers are mounted, one of whom is the commanding officer, Lt-Col Welch, at the front with a bugler standing behind and a little to his left. He has a bugle in his right hand and the green tassels of the cord can be seen on his left shoulder. The officers are standing in a single rank at the front of the parade, 14 Indian officers and 3 British, all wearing puttees. Two Indian officers standing behind the CO carry the Colours. On the far side of the companies is the regimental band. |
