Lovely dha Charles. I like the little chape on the scabbard--obviously a bow to the British army background of the recipient. It appears that this presentation preceded his appointment to the Madras Army in 1887, and that the Madras appointment was a promotion.

I wonder if he participated in the Third Anglo-Burmese War in November, 1885.
