A C Lovett’s painting of the Rajputana Infantry c1909 was published in The Armies of India by Major G F MacMunn (1911). The figure second from the left is the Subadar-Major of the 104th Wellesley’s Rifles in review order; the caption says that he is a Gujar of Gujarat. His tunic is rifle green with scarlet collar and cuffs and scarlet piping down the front. His breeches, or pantaloons are also green as are his puttees and turban. He has a silver regimental badge on the front of the turban. The uniform can be seen in the photo of Subadar-Major Hasan Muhammad. The officers’ pouch-belt was worn in review order but in service dress a Sam Browne belt was worn. He has black braid forming an Austrian knot above the scarlet cuffs. British officers wore a frogged tunic with 5 rows of black braid across the chest.
The Lance Naik in green uniform on the right is a Ratore Rajput from 123rd Outram’s Rifles. His uniform is very similar to that worn by the 104th. He is also in review order, as khaki was worn for normal duty. Instead of a tunic he wears a kurta which reaches half way down the thigh and buttons from neck to waist. It is piped with scarlet and has scarlet shoulder straps. The single stripe on his upper right arm is on scarlet backing cloth. He has a striped scarlet kummerbund around his waist, under the black leather waist-belt from which is suspended a scabbard for a bayonet, although in rifle regiments it was called a sword. His puttees are green and his green turban has no badge. The scarlet kullah can just be seen at the top of the turban. He has a brown leather ammunition bandolier. The 104th were issued with these in 1909 to replace black leather equipment and pouches.
The other officers in this detail of Lovett's painting are, on the left, the Subadar-Major of the 113th Infantry, a Gujar of the Punjab. The officer in the middle, wearing medals, is a Subadar of the 119th Infantry, a Gujar of Jaipur. The officer on the right is a Subadar of the 112th Infantry, a Sayyid Musalman.
