In a sepia photograph captured in 1914-15, Sikhs of the Indian Army stand proudly alongside their trusty pack horses in France. Their unwavering determination echoes through time as they navigate foreign lands with grace and strength. The Youruks of Sarus Valley leave an indelible mark on history with a black-and-white photo taken by E. H. King in 1936. These nomadic people effortlessly traverse rocky terrain, showcasing their symbiotic relationship with their equine companions.

The handcoloured copperplate engraving drawn by Thomas Rowlandson immortalizes this momentous expedition. An enchanting engraving depicts bread being transported to London via pack-horses - a testament to both nature's resilience and man's resourcefulness.
