Description:This is probably an exercise or reconstruction of a battle. It is not clear where either the North or the South Staffordshire Regiments are in this photograph. They never trained with elephants. Both regiments, however had several postings to India in the 19th and first half of the 20th Centuries. Their task was to police the Empire which occasionally involved localised wars such as the Sikh Wars or more widespread insurrection such as the Indian Mutiny. Through its history the Staffordshire Regiment has been involved in many campaigns and wars and has been stationed in many parts of the world. Formerly called the North and South Staffordshire Regiments, the two were amalgamated in January 1959. The Regiment is based at Whittington Barracks, near Lichfield.
