The all-khaki uniforms worn during WW1 were smartened up in the period 1922 to 1925, while the battalion was stationed at Jhansi. The pre-war Review Order Khaki, with green puttees and puggris was reintroduced for guard duty and ceremonial occasions. This photo from Lt-Col James’s History shows a Jat Havildar in the centre, wearing a silver whistle, chain and boss, attached to his kurta-style tunic. He has three rank stripes on his right arm, black chevrons on scarlet backing cloth. His left sleeve appears to have a good conduct stripe which would not normally be worn by sergeants in the British army.
The Rajput Naik on the right has two rank stripes on his right arm and two good conduct stripes on his left forearm. The Punjabi Mussalman Sepoy on the left holds a SMLE mark III rifle. The puggris are all formed in different ways according to their class, but all have the regimental badge in dark metal on the front. The tunics have black rifleman buttons and they all have a black leather waist-belt with two pouches on the front and a sword (bayonet) suspended from the back.
The men are named as, from the left: Dost Muhammad, Ranjit Ram, and Govind Singh.
