THE OFFICERS' DEATH ROLL.

A NOTAB'B feature of the campa'gn on the -ndian frontier is the laivo

iiuTiber of British officers who have b«en klled—both

tfficera and privates — compared with the losses of Indian troop*. *\a to the British regiments, this is to be ex plained on the assumption that the most dangerous work hits been en trusted to them, as in the storming of the Darghai heights, where the troops had to cross a zone of open country under a withering fire from tribesmen who wee under secure shelter, in which attack the Gordon Highlanders 60 worthily upheld thf-ir reputation. But apart from the B itiah regiments astonishment has been expressed at the large number of British officers at tached to native regiments who have fallen. On this question a letter ap peared in the Times of .^eptpmber 25, from which it would appear tb >t this arises from the folly of making the British officers of native infantry regiments unnecessarily conspicuous by the distinctive helmet they are com pelted to wear. The writer says :— " During the recent fighting on the north-west frontier of India, the very heavy proportion of casualties among the British officers of native infant ry regiments can no* fail to strike the most eaeual reader, The explanation is simple. The British officers are dis tinguishable from the men of these regiments from a v«ery great distance, owing to their wearing helmets, while the men wear • pagris,' and are, there fore, easily picked off by the enemy's marksmen. In a British regiment it is almost impossible to distinguish the officers from the men at a distance, and surely it would seem mere ordinary common sense that the same* should be the case in native regiments. British officers in native cavalry regi ments do already wear " loongis " on active service, so that the case of their brother officers in the infantry seems more inexplicable and opposed to reason. Lord Wolseley has recently declared that in future the colours of a regiment will never be taken into action, chiefly on account of their being so conspicuous that a heavy fire would be directed on them. Surely, by the same train of reasoning, it might logically be claimed that the officers of whom I write—who are few enough as it is—should not be made unduly conspicuous, if not on their own account at all events for the sake of the efficacy of their regiments in action, for it might not always be the ease that the native officers would show up so Bplendidly as in the recent Tochi disaster."
