1914 Star (No. 2771 Sowar Jamaluddin, 36/Horse), good very fine

The 36th Horse was raised in India by Captain J. Jacob in 1846. At the outbreak of the Great War the Regiment was stationed at Cawnpore and composed of 2 squadrons of Derajat Musalmans and Baluchis; 1 squadron of Pathans; and 1 of Sikhs. In a recent inspection by Major-General G. A. Cookson, Commanding (Lucknow) Cavalry Brigade on 12 December 1913, the men were found to be 'a very fine regiment'. He went on to add, 'the combination of fire with shock tactics is intelligently appreciated'.
