Hi all!

I mistakenly identified these as part of the Durbar when I was typing up the Rivet. Hopefully you all can find it in your hearts to forgive me. I was just really hoping for some more Durbar, I guess! Apologies again. {sm2}{sm2}{sm2}{sm2}

Cheers,
Jesse

Guess What. In 1903 both the 1903 Delhi Dubar and The King's African Rifles were featured in the London illustrated newspaper The Sphere in the May 30th issue.
So not to worry:)

Thanks Randy! This is a fascinating piece of publication history. I must have been reading that issue just before writing... ^&grin{sm4}
