More on My Artillery Days

My Army days.


Hi folks, One most amazing advantage of serving in the Army is that you are required to  perform some duties which actually are your hobbies. For example, playing polo is one of them. As a young officer we always performed such duties very enthusiastically.

And the best part of being a Mountain gunner was that one could always find some patch of land even in the operational areas in the hills to practice polo. The picture below was taken in 1965, just before the move of our Battery from one forward location to the other on the Western front (up in the mountains) to participate in the Indo-Pakistan war.
