Image description

Indian Army camel transport, 1919. Photograph by Randolph Bezzant Holmes (1888-1973), India, North West Frontier, 1919. Despite the wide scale use of motor transport in areas where the terrain permitted it, the British-Indian forces operating on the frontier still relied on pack animals like mules and camels to move the bulk of their supplies. The one-hump Arabian camel, or dromedary, was used by the British and Indian Armies for many years. Well adapted to the sort of barren terrain encountered in the frontier regions and able to walk for miles a day, they were vital beasts of burden. From an album, of 74 photographs compiled by Neville John Gordon Cameron, 1st Bn Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders.
