Sword of Robert Skinner on which recruits used to swear on enlistment, presented to the Regiment by Colonel James Skinner. After being handed to a British officer at Partition it was later found in the store at the National Army Museum in London by Lt Col CRD Gray who arranged for its return to the Regiment in India. Shabash Colonel Gray!

Alex Many thanks for posting these outstanding images. Two companies of the Border Regiment (which I was fortunate enough to serve in before it disappeared) were deployed on the international force in Crete in 1897, so I will pass the images on to the regimental museum in Carlisle. Harry
