I’m aware of only one photograph of Lieutenant Thomas Rice Henn<br />and two line drawings of Henn and Lieutenant Charles William Hinde 1st Grenadiers (Bombay Infantry).<br /><br />If you’re interested in seeing what Hinde looked liked, l have uncovered a photography of him, dating from circa 1871-1875. He is in uniform but I’m not sure which uniform, so can’t date the photograph more accurately.<br /><br />I have also written a biography for him, which covers in some detail, how and why he ended up making the last stand depicted in your diorama.<br /><br />If you’re interested and could let me have an email, I’ll send you over a copy of the image and biography.History Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01485504720721383471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5097902935093601429.post-69006903814277906192023-12-29T05:27:48.920-08:002023-12-29T05:27:48.920-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.History Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01485504720721383471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5097902935093601429.post-81841371042428351932023-12-29T03:31:20.976-08:002023-12-29T03:31:20.976-08:00I wanted to make contact with you regarding the Ba...I wanted to make contact with you regarding the Battle of Maiwand, and in particular your wonderful diorama of the last stand.
