EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical artifact that holds great significance in the military history of Pakistan. The image features a cap badge from the Zhob Militia, dating back to 1889. Crafted from white metal, this intricate badge takes the form of a majestic mountain goat with long horns, standing proudly on the peak of a mountain. The Zhob Militia was established by William Raikes-Hodson in 1852 and consisted of Pashtun, Baluch, and Afghan soldiers. Initially serving as a reconnaissance force for the Corps of Guides and Hodson's Horse, this unit played an essential role in various military operations. Today, it is fascinating to note that the legacy of the Zhob Militia lives on as a paramilitary unit within Pakistan's Frontier Corps. This badge symbolizes their rich history and enduring commitment to protecting their homeland. Preserved at London's National Army Museum as part of Field Marshal Sir John Chapple Indian Army Collection, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical context. As we gaze upon this relic from another era, we are reminded of the bravery and dedication exhibited by those who served in these esteemed ranks. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this piece for all enthusiasts interested in exploring Pakistan's military heritage or simply admiring artistry rooted deep within history.
