A Kathé or Munnipoore Horseman.. Artist(s): Grant, Colesworthy (1813-1880)
- Scope & Content:
-
‘A Kathé or Munnipoore Horseman.’
IF the Infantry of the Burmese army disappointed expectation, the mounted portion yet more. Even the far famed Poney of the country seemed, in the general mass, to be degenerate; for although there were many beautifully formed, powerful, and spirited, very many more were of sorry appearance, as though of inferior blood, or badly fed.
The men, believed to be principally or exclusively Munnipooreans, were strong enough looking, but miserably set off by their dress and equipments. Their clothes were of the same coarse quality as those of the foot soldiers, and their arms consisted of a short spear, and the customary sword slung at their backs. These and their horses are provided by Government, and their pay is the same as that of the Infantry.
