  • The Colours Part 1: the Regular Battalions
    The Colours Part 1: The Regular Battalions By Lieutenant General J. P. Riley CB DSO PhD MA FRHistS 1. The Earliest Days At the time of the raising of Lord Herbert’s Regiment in March 1689,i it was usual for a regiment of foot to hold ten Colours. This number corre- sponded to the number of companies in the regiment and to the officers who commanded these companies although the initial establishment of Herbert’s Regiment was only eight companies. We have no record of the issue of any Colours to Herbert’s Regiment – and probably the Colo- nel paid for their manufacture himself as he did for much of the dress and equipment of his regiment. What we do know however is that each Colour was the rallying point for the company in battle and the symbol of its esprit. Colours were large – generally six feet square although no regulation on size yet existed – so that they could easily be seen in the smoke of a 17th Century battlefield for we must remember that before the days of smokeless powder, obscuration was a major factor in battle. So too was the ability of a company to keep its cohesion, deliver effec- tive fire and change formation rapidly either to attack, defend, or repel cavalry. A company was made up of anywhere between sixty and 100 men, with three officers and a varying number of sergeants, corporals and drummers depending on the actual strength. About one-third of the men by this time were armed with the pike, two-thirds with the match- lock musket.

  • 30Th PUNJABIS at TANDAMUTI HILL and NAKADI RIDGE East Africa, February – October 1917 Harry Fecitt, March 2015
    1 THE 30th PUNJABIS AT TANDAMUTI HILL AND NAKADI RIDGE East Africa, February – October 1917 Harry Fecitt, March 2015 Introduction The 30th Punjabis started the war as a Class Company Regiment containing 4 companies of Sikhs, 2 companies of Dogras and 2 companies of Punjabi Mussulmans; this composition was later reorganised by halving the number of companies to four, each having 4 platoons. A 14-month stay in the Daryaganj Lines, Delhi, resulted in much sickness from malignant malaria, and twice in late 1914 the regiment reported itself unfit for service in France. The regiment was involved in 1915 in operations against the Mohmands on the North-West Frontier, and there Subadar Muhammad Khan, 29th Punjabis attached to 30th Punjabis, and No. 4391 Havildar Sher Khan were awarded the Indian Distinguished Service Medal. After a further 11 months spent in India the 30th Punjabis was deployed to East Africa in November 1916. The situation in early 1917 After the fierce fighting for the crossing of the Rufiji River, described in the article Fighting For The Rufiji River Crossing: The British 1st East African Brigade in action German East Africa, 1 to 19 January 1917, (where Subadar Allah Ditta won a posthumous Indian Order of Merit, 2nd Class) the 30th Punjabis moved north and in June 1917 the regiment was at Tabora on the German Central Railway that ran from Dar Es Salaam westwards to Lake Tanganyika. Here a newly-arrived draft of 90 Rank & File brought the regimental strength up to 4 British and 6 Indian officers and 259 sepoys.

Philip Stigger The question as phrased acknowledges that the British did not fully trust Indians serving in the Regular British Indian Army in the aftermath of what they regarded as the Indian Mutiny of 1857, held by others to be the First Indian War of Inde- pendence. After that event, to guarantee internal security, the Army in India comprised the British Indian Army and Regular British Army formations in an approximate ratio of two Indian soldiers to one European. Consequently, the troops under the orders of the Commander-in-Chief in India on 1 April 1914 consisted of 5,001 BritishJSAHR officers, Sample73,155 British Articlewarrant officers, non-commissioned officers and men, and 150,574 Indian officers, non-commissioned officers and men.1 The British Indian Army was divided also against itself along religious and eth- nic lines for two primary reasons.
