Summary
| Description |
English: Watercolour with pen and ink of three Burmese infantry soldiers at Amarapura.
'The three men here represented...were picked out of the guard of six hundred attached to the Residency...Vigorous and powerfully formed men, and, as is well known, very far from wanting in courage...Their arms comprise a flint musket, without bayonet, and the 'Dhar' or sword worn on the back of the left shoulder. Their cartridges are carried in bandoliers, forming a belt round the waist. The ordinary Burmese Government custom of payment, not by salaries but by grants of land, appears to exist in the army, as in other branches of the state. Fields or districts are assigned to the soldiers, the value of which is assumed to be as good as Ten Roopees per month. |
