- Badge, bearer, 1st Punjab Regiment, 1922-1956.
White metal badge with an elephant above a cartouche bearing the battle honour, ‘Assaye’.
The 1st Punjab Regiment was created as part of a reorganisation of the Indian Army in 1922. Its first battalions were formed from six Indian Army regiments: the 1st Brahmans and the 62nd, 66th, 76th, 82nd and 84th Punjabis. The regiment was expanded during World War Two (1939-1945) and its battalions fought in various theatres including North Africa, Italy and the Far East. The regiment was transferred to the Pakistan Army in 1947, after the Partition of India.
This badge’s elephant emblem and battle honour refer to the regiment’s forebear units’ involvement in the Battle of Assaye in 1803, during the 2nd Maratha War (1803-1805).

- Medicine bottle, ‘Chlorodyne’, Army and Navy Co-operative Society Limited, 1896.
Glass bottle with metal screw lid and paper label. The label is printed with the title, ‘Chlorodyne’, the manufacturer’s name, ‘Army & Navy Co-operative Society Limited’, and is marked as ‘(poison)’.
Chlorodyne was developed by Dr John Collis Browne (1819-1884), a British Army surgeon serving in India, for treatment of cholera. The patent medicine became popular as a treatment for other ailments including migraines, diarrhea and insomnia. Its ingredients included laudanum, cannabis and chloroform. Its addictive nature and the risk from overdose led to its demise.
From a Burroughs, Wellcome and Company medical kit, marked to ‘Andrew Thorne’ (?), ‘Grenadier Guards’, which was possibly purchased for use during the 3rd Ashanti War (1895-1896).

- Army Bureau of Current Affairs pamphlet 'Electing the President', June 1944.
Formed in 1941, the Army Bureau of Current Affairs (ABCA) was set up by the War Office to raise morale and to educate British service personnel about current affairs. Soon considered an integral part of Army training, the programme of activities organised by ABCA, such as lectures, film shows, plays and discussions, aimed to empower soldiers with the weapon of knowledge.
ABCA also produced regular booklets about anything they considered useful and these were the basis of many soldiers’ discussions. As well as the progress of the war’s various campaigns, the booklets included topics like the 'Beveridge Report' (1942), 'Town Planning' (1942), 'Women at War' (1942), 'The Nations’ Health' (1943), 'Social Security' (1943), 'What about our schools?' (1943) and ‘Electing the President’ (1944).

- Brief description:
- Collar badge, 1st Punjab Regiment, 1922-1947.
Bronze badge, one of a pair, with an elephant above a cartouche bearing the battle honour, ‘Assaye’.
The 1st Punjab Regiment was created as part of a reorganisation of the Indian Army in 1922. Its first battalions were formed from six Indian Army regiments: the 1st Brahmans and the 62nd, 66th, 76th, 82nd and 84th Punjabis. The regiment was expanded during World War Two (1939-1945) and its battalions fought in various theatres including North Africa, Italy and the Far East. The regiment was transferred to the Pakistan Army in 1947, after the Partition of India.
This badge’s elephant emblem and battle honour refer to the regiment’s forebear units’ involvement in the Battle of Assaye in 1803, during the 2nd Maratha War (1803-1805).
From the Field Marshal Sir John Chapple Indian Army Collection.
