11th Bengal Lancers
'Probyn's Horse' - British Officers, 1860
The 1st Sikh Regiment
were described while on campaign in China as wearing dark
blue uniforms and blue turbans. These officers seem to be
dressed similarly to each other but on closer inspection
we can see that two of them are wearing white breeches and
Napoleon boots and the other two wear overalls. The man
seated in the middle wears a blue kurta and the others all
have undress frocks. The pouchbelts are plain undress types
clearly showing the Maltese cross plate and not-so-clear
picker plate. Only two gauntlets are on show.
