EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Regimental Hockey Team of the 1st Brahmans, circa 1910. The 1st Brahmans, later known as the 4th/1st Punjab Regiment, were a distinguished Indian infantry regiment with a rich history in sports, particularly hockey. In 1905, they became the first Indian regiment to win the prestigious All-India Hockey Tournament, showcasing their exceptional skill and dedication on the field. The team's success continued in 1909 when they defeated the 41st Dogras in the final of the Eastern Command Hockey Tournament. Hockey held a significant place in the Indian Army, and the 1st Brahmans' achievements were a testament to the passion and talent that existed within the ranks. This photograph, one of twenty-six in the album from the years 1904-1931, captures a moment in time when sports and camaraderie intertwined to create a lasting legacy in the annals of Indian military history.
