The Retainers Review Program

...'PROGRAMME CHIEF’S RETINUE REVIEW
Wednesday 7 January 1903
The procession of the Chief’s Retainers round the Durbar Amphitheatre will be in the following order...'

The relative precedence of the Ruling Chiefs was not followed in arranging the parade, as the retinues of States whose camps were farthest from the amphitheatre were sent first to enable them to march back home in good time

20 Irregular Horse
120 Infantry

I don't have any photos of this state. But I have many pictures without identification yet, so eventually I might have something to show.
