This fine belt and pouch belonged to Watkis, MC and bar, an officer of the 26th Light Cavalry (formerly 1st Madras Lancers). It is silver hall marked: Birmingham, 1906. The battle honours are: Carnatic, Sholinghur (unique to 1st Madras Native Cavalry, ancestor of this regiment - the title changed in 1903), Mysore, Seringapatam, Burma. There are small tack marks throughout the leather backing where it has been pinned onto a display board, and some of the silver bullion has separated in places from this backing. This is a rare survivor from the Raj. |
