Nice example of an officer (in undress uniform) from a crack cavalry regiment (silver chains on full dress leather crossbelt, with pickers and chains, only worn by QOCG). Karachi (where the photographer operated) is in Sind province on the coast by the border with Baluchistan. (The attribution to QOCG is tentative.)

The helmet arrived the day before yesterday and I had a look at it today and everything looks perfect. You packed it up very well indeed. ... I've never seen him so thrilled with a gift!
