Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry "Former regiment of the British Army". In 1886 it was based in India, where it would remain into the 20th century. During its stay the battalion formed part of the Peshawar column in the Tirah Expedition in the volatile North-West Frontier in 1897; where the battalion saw action in the Khyber Pass, around Koda Khel and Ali Masjid.

One of the best scenes...

And is it me but does the elephant on the far right looks like it is wearing a helmet?

Don't think so Ted ..... What strikes me with this picture, The effort to put those gun carriages on to the Elephants. Just Amazing

I know. I was actually wondering how they got them off.
I get the elephant would kneel down but it would still be a good drop from there.
Lots of man power I figured.
