59th Scinde Rifles


British Officer, 1900


The helmet has a red pagri and silver fittings. Pouchbelts for the 2nd and 6th Punjab Infantry were of black leather instead of brown. The badge is of similar design to the one worn after 1903 when they were the 59th Scinde Rifles (see Pouchbadge 1903). The chains and whistle are the usual pattern (See Pouchbelt ornaments).
