| Description | Indian Army cavalrymen at water cart, France, during World War I. This image shows cavalrymen from the Indian Army getting water from a water cart. The men are wearing dark coloured turbans, most have short jackets but one man, possibly an officer, has a longer, almost knee-length coat. The pot being used for the water is described in the caption as being Indian. It looks like one of their traditional copper jars. [Original reads: 'OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN ON THE BRITISH WESTERN FRONT IN FRANCE. Indians in France. Filling an Indian pot with water from the cart.'] |
