If ‘Haserabad’ is, indeed, a frontier garrison town like Peshawar, the “Karachi run” would be quite a feat. The Khyber Mail runs between these two places, a route by rail of 1,069 miles. I don’t see a diminutive 0-6-0T of any age or gauge on such a service. Now I do know that 1 inch = 25.4mm, so, whereas 6 feet in 4mm or 1/76 scale is 24mm, 6 feet in 1.72nd is 25.4mm. On arrival at Haserabad, Captain Scott sees that many local Hindus and Europeans are leaving on the last train to Kalapur. The Muslim rebels soon close in and take control of the outer wall and gate beside the railway yard. The British governor tells Scott that he must take the young prince to Kalapur for his safety. In the railyard, the British captain discovers the " Empress of India", an old railway engine cared for by its driver Gupta, affectionately known as Victoria. They calculate that it will manage the journey if limited to pulling a single carriage. It (killing/fighting) proves that I am a true Moslem. That I care enough to fight and maybe even to die for my faith. For a country that will be all Moslem and I will belong there. Are you capable of understanding that? Barthorp, Michael (1982).

The South Waziristan Militia, then: The South Waziristan Scouts. HQ: (Militia): Wana, then (Scouts): Jandola. No sooner than she gets up steam, however, and she is at an unidentified location in India. Haserbad station appears to be an Indian location. It features what looks to be a metre gauge railway. We first see the line in daylight as the last train departs with its ill-fated passengers and crew. Officially designated Cavalry, Punjab Frontier Force, the earlier style endured, and was restored in 1901. [85] One of the reasons I never did anything with the WW1 HaT figures, BTW, was that HaT (notoriously slow and uncertain in its release programme (sound familiar?)) has yet to produce its British infantry in tropical dress (Wolesley helmet, like Captain Scott's!). I mention this because, these will doubtless be released in due course and would help with any British troops and British officers in Indian service.Cool Train: Victoria. Despite being an ancient and poorly-maintained loco considered only good for shunting, she manages to get everyone to safety. This is India. The North West Frontier province. 1905. A country of many religions. Men find many reasons for killing each other - greed, revenge, jealousy or perhaps because they worship God by different names. By 1819 only Sindh and the Sikh Empire remained outside the company's control. Napoleon was vanquished, but the Empire of the Tsars had begun to expand south and east. Russian influence grew likewise, and by the early 1830s Qajar Irān was within the Tsar's sphere. Attempts by Irān to recover Herat in 1834, and again in 1837, raised the spectre of Russian armies on the road to Kandahar, whence direct access to India through the Khojak and Bolan passes. [11]

In 1857 the four regiments of Sikh Local Infantry became Sikh Infantry, Punjab Irregular Force. [92] In 1957, More announced he would play "a romantic adventure" part set during the Indian Mutiny, Nightrunners of Bengal. [5] That film was never made and it is likely that More was transferred instead to North West Frontier, a similar project. [5] Olivia de Havilland was originally announced as the female lead. [6] Lauren Bacall's casting was announced in January 1959. [7] She sold her Hollywood house and put her children in school in London for the duration of the shoot. [8] Filming [ edit ] Chekhov's Skill: Mrs Wyatt is one of the only civilians on the train who knows how to use a gun. Which comes in handy when Scott is fighting Van Leyden.

Grey-and-Grey Morality: Not so much among the central characters, but neither the British nor the rebels are portrayed as being in the right. Best scenes -there are plenty of them but this is my favorite-:the travelers stop in a station where a train full of dead bodies is waiting for them.The flies and the vultures are here too.The governess finds a survivor: a little baby ;they will use a glove as a feeding bottle. Regiment, originally raised at Karachi in 1843 as the Scinde Camel Corps, and redesignated Punjab Infantry in 1853. [84] In 1903 the four remaining regiments were brought into the new Indian Army line by adding twenty to their original numbers:-

In the reformed Indian Army in 1903 they were likewise redesignated 35th Scinde Horse [60] and 36th Jacob's Horse. [63] Infantry [ edit ]Thompson, Howard (30 April 1960). "Review: Flame over India". The New York Times . Retrieved 8 August 2017.

During the Second Sikh War both the 1st and 2nd Irregular Horse earned further distinction with 'M OOLTAN', 'G OOJERAT', and 'P UNJAUB'. [64] Spared the same fate, the 4th Sikh Infantry was employed in the expedition of 1895 earning the honour C HITRAL. [101]

Later re-numbered as No. 6 (Bombay) Mountain Battery, and then briefly renamed the Jullundur Mountain Battery, the unit took its place in the reformed Indian Army of 1903 as 26th Jacob's Mountain Battery.
