The Indian Army in 1911

 

 

 

The following water colours by Major A.C.Lovett were first published in 'Armies of India' of 1911. They depict the many full dress, and some field service dress, uniforms of the Indian Army during the years leading up to the Great War. Never again would the pressures of economy allow for such variety, colour, and distinctiveness.
