English: 2nd Punjab Cavalry Sowars, India, possibly by Felice Beato, ca.1858–59. From an album owned by General Sir Sam Browne V.C. Photographs possibly taken by Felice Beato.
National Army Museum's description: 2nd Punjab Cavalry Sowars Photograph from an album previously owned by General Sir Sam Browne VC, 1857-1870 (c). 'Sowar' was the lowest enlisted rank in the Indian Cavalry, equivalent to a trooper in the British Cavalry. The 2nd Regiment of Punjab of Cavalry was raised by Lieutenant Sam Browne in 1849. The unit, loyal to the British, fought in the Indian Mutiny of 1857 and saw extensive service on the frontier with Afghanistan. In 1903, with the amalgamation of the regiments of the three Indian presidency armies (Bengal, Bombay and Madras), the unit became the 22nd Cavalry (Frontier Force).

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. ![]() |
