1948 Colours Mohammad Pakistan Pakistani Peshawar Photograph Presentation Presented Punjab Regiment 15th Azam Milligan Officers
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a historic moment in the formation of Pakistan's military history: the presentation of colors to the 2nd Battalion, 15th Punjab Regiment by Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah on April 15, 1948, in Peshawar, Pakistan. The 2nd Battalion, 15th Punjab Regiment, a distinguished regiment with a rich history that can be traced back to the British Indian Army, was one of the first regiments to pledge allegiance to the new nation of Pakistan. In this image, Jinnah, the founding father and the first Governor-General of Pakistan, is seen presenting the regimental colors to the battalion, symbolizing the formal transfer of authority and the beginning of the regiment's service to the Pakistani military. The event took place in the aftermath of India's independence from British rule and the subsequent creation of Pakistan. This photograph is part of an album of 64 images that were presented to Lt. Col. F.G. Milligan by Pakistani officers who had served under him. The album offers a unique glimpse into the early days of Pakistan's military history.
