The captions place the central figure in the company of "Carroll Sahib" Ken Davis and other men in uniform-style dress while repeated references to the "mess" weapon training staff and cantonment-like grounds situate the photographs within a British colonial wartime environment in central India. The group shows one participant moving between military or officer-adjacent daily life and the monumental landscape of Mandu at a moment when India remained a crucial base of Allied wartime activity.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 43 silver gelatin photographs ranging from 2 x 3.5 to 2.5 x 2.5 inches Mhow and Mandu India 1942-1943.
