Frontier Service is Hard, on the Body

News from the North-West Frontier: Our intrepid reporter, Cyrus P. Snaapshott,  has sent this photo of Lt. Colonel. Sly D. Burrns of the 1st Kashmir Svayansevaka Reiphalaharu (Volunteer Rifles) leading his men into the mountains after bandits who have been raiding the peace-loving subjects of her Imperial Majesty. Lt. Col. Burrns has spent the greater part of his 30 odd years in Imperial military service on the Northern Provence's of the Raj.
Premature gray hair, hunched back, badly healed bones and a bowlegged stanch are the price Burrns has pained in his Queen- Emperess' service.
But to his mind he has done a needed service to strengthen the "Greatest Empire in the History of the World! "Ga'd save the Queen Emperess!"
Lt. Col. Burrns is a metal piece I painted this month.
