This engraving captures the moment of departure for the 44th Gurkha Light Infantry of the British Army from Shillong, Assam Frontier, in 1891. The troops, numbering 21 in total, are shown in their distinctive uniforms, complete with kukri knives at their sides, as they prepare to embark on an expedition to Manipur. The image, titled 'Dec 7, 1891. The 44th Gurkha Light Infantry leaving Shillong for Manipur,' is a historical record of the military campaigns that took place during the British colonial rule in Assam. The 44th Gurkha Light Infantry was a part of the British Indian Army and was renowned for its bravery and discipline. The Gurkha soldiers were recruited from the hills of Nepal and were known for their exceptional physical prowess and fighting skills. They served in various capacities in British India and beyond, playing a crucial role in expanding and maintaining the British colonial empire. The expedition to Manipur was significant as it aimed to assert British control over the region and quell any rebellions or uprisings. The 44th Gurkha Light Infantry, under the command of their British officers, played a pivotal role in the successful outcome of the expedition. This engraving is an important historical document that provides a visual representation of the British military presence in Assam during the late 19th century. It offers a glimpse into the daily life of the soldiers and their role in the colonial administration, as well as the political and military strategies employed by the British in the region.
