EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of honor and tradition as the new colors were presented to the 28th Regiment, Bengal Native Infantry, during a ceremony held at Umballah in 1856. The scene unfolds with the Commander-in-Chief, unnamed in the image, presenting the new colors to the native officers. The Grenadier Company stands proudly in front, with the band on its left, playing the popular Indian tune "Taza ba Taza" (Fresh as New). A section of the regiment is arranged in line, with European officers leading from the front at open order. The barracks of H.M. 9th Lancers can be seen in the background. Spectators, both on elephants and horseback, as well as dismounted staff, add to the grandeur of the occasion. Once the new colors took their place in the center of the line, the regiment presented arms, and the band played the "National Anthem," marking the successful completion of this significant military ceremony.
