| RB,
No the facing colour is not dark enough, and the grenade collar badges are absent.

| Talking of Tigers, I have a map in my collection compiled by Lt Col MacPherson while stalking Tigers in India. He subsequently wrote up his experience in the Bombay Natural History Society Journal. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]" One afternoon out stalking I got a snap-shot at a tiger as he bounded away through some long grass, and on following up to see if I had wounded him I came across a doe sambhar which the tiger had been eating when I disturbed him. As I had missed the tiger, I thought it highly probable that he would return to the kill very soon, and so I determined to wait for him. I had, however, only one man with me and no means at hand for making a machan."
I therefore sent this man back to my camp, some two miles away, for the necessary help, and in the meantime I climbed up into a tree near the dead sambhar. In a very short time a jackal appeared, which I had excellent opportunities of observing, as he was quite unconscious of my presence, and passed me time after time within a few yards. There was nothing in any way peculiar about him, and judging from his condition and the glossiness of his coat he was evidently in excellent health. He was, however, with that curious instinct which these animals seem to possess, fully aware that the tiger had not finished his meal and that he might be expected back shortly. He therefore would not touch the carcase, but contented himself with wandering round and round it, sometimes coming quite near, at other times making circles of about 100 yards radius.
In one of these peregrinations he came suddenly on to the tiger, who had evidently not been much alarmed at my shot, and was creeping back to the kill through some low bushes. The jackal seemed much startled, bounded back a few yards, and then gave vent to the peculiar " Kol-Bhalu " cry.
T. MACPHERSON, Lieut.-Colonel.
Poona, April, 1898."Steve |
