North-West Frontier, Oil on canvas by Richard Caton Woodville (1856-1927), 1882 (c).

In the harsh winter conditions on the North West Frontier of India, there was no means of treating a sick or wounded horse. To save it from a lingering and painful death, the officer has to resort to shooting his own mount. It is a moment full of pathos.

As he prepares to fire, the injured animal raises its head to look at its master. It seems to know what he is going to do. To create this pose, the artist has elongated the horse's neck and enlarged its head, but the unusual viewpoint helps to disguise these strange proportions.

The subject was meant to be seen as heroic as well as tragic, to show that fulfilling duty can sometimes be difficult. Today, the idea of putting a helpless animal out of its misery in this way is more controversial and the painting often arouses quite different emotional reactions.

Such a handsome chap. Last chief to have passed out from Sandhurst.
Sherdils, until Gen Bajwa (16 Baluch), wasthe only regt to turn out two chiefs;
Geb Asif and FM Ayub.
Many of my own family members have served in this regiment.

P.S; perhaps the cameras of that time also had some special effects as can be seen in pictures of officers of those days.

Not his real brother.

Brig Hazur Hasnain SJ&Bar was the greatest soldier the Pakistan Army has known. In fact no soldier has ever come up to even his shoulders. Shorter than average in height, he was a giant among men. Born on 27 November 1936 in UP, he migrated to Pakistan and was educated in Hyderabad. Joined PMA in 1957 he went on to bag all three awards, The Sword of honour, Norman Gold medal and silver spurs. Commissioned in 15 Baloch, he joined the SSG later and in the 65 War was dropped behind enemy lines. Was surrounded but fought his way back and for his heroism was awarded Sitara e Jurat. In the 71 War in erstwhile East Pakistan, he was a Company Commander. For his remarkable courage once again, he was awarded Bar to his SJ. In the POW camp, his indomitable spirit compelled him to make an escape attempt during which he was shot. After repatriation, raised 15 Baloch. His life was cut short as Allah willed, as his plane crashed on way back from Parachinar in July 1980.

Among other distinctions, he was the most competent officer of the Pakistan Army, as according to records he had the highest Officers Efficiency Index (OEI) at that time.
