Anglo-Indian Interest - a fine group portrait of those involved in the defence and relief of Kohima October 1879. Personalities in the image include Lt. Colonel John Johnstone, George John Cawley, three princes of the family of Maharaja Chandrakirti Singh of Manipur. Note: This highly attractive and historically important photograph records one of the little-known dramas played out on the fringes of Empire, it appears that the photograph may have been taken shortly after the relief as exhaustion is obvious.
