This group of British and Indian officers of the 4th Regiment was taken at Chaman in the Quetta District in early 1893. In April that year the regiment moved to Poona. They are in field service dress; khaki tunic and breeches and black leather Sam Browne belts. The Indian officers wear rifle green turbans and puttees with no badge on the turban. The British officers also have green puttees but wear a green field service cap with a black boss and small silver bugle badge on the front. The British officers have different uniforms to the Indian officers; the breeches are closer fitting and the tunics have higher collars which are fold-down and showing a white shirt collar. The breast pocket flaps also differ.
The officer seated second from the left is Surgeon G W Jenney of the Indian Medical Service. He wears a different cap and has maroon staff gorget patches on his collar. Standing in the middle of the back row is the adjutant, Lieutenant William Crawford Walton who was CO from 1908 to 1914 and Colonel of the regiment from 1927 until his death in 1937. In April 1892 the battalion was organised into eight Class Companies of which the first three were made up of Maharattas of the Konkan. There was only one company of Mussalmen.
