Summary
'62nd Punjabis - Subadar - A Dhund from Rawal Pindee', 1910 (c) Pen and ink drawing by Alfred Crowdy Lovett, 1910 (c). The original for the illustration on p183 of G F MacMunn's 'Armies of India', published in 1911.
The 62nd Punjabis were formed from the 2nd Madras Infantry in 1903 as part of the reform of the Indian Army. The unit consisted of Sikhs, Rajputs and Muslims from the Punjab. The regiment fought in the Middle East during World War One (1914-1918), after which it became the 1st Battalion, 1st Punjab Regiment. After service in North Africa and Burma during World War Two (1939-1945) the unit became part of the new Pakistan Army in 1947.
'Subadar' is the Indian officer rank equivalent to a captain in the British Army. The Dhund or Abbasi tribe from the North West Frontier of India claim descent from the uncle of the Prophet Muhammad.
