Sketches of the Military Police of Burmah: studying the map for an expedition, 1890. 'Some account of the organisation of this useful force, under the command of Brigadier Stedman, as Inspector-General, and Major Graves, numbering about fifteen thousand men enlisted in Upper India from the districts and classes of the population which supply the best soldiers of the Indian Native Army, was given in our publication of May 3. It forms nineteen battalions, each with two or three British officers, stationed in all the administrative districts of Upper Burmah, and guarding the frontiers and the railway that is being constructed. The men are armed and equipped like the infantry regiments of the Indian Army, and a portion of each battalion are trained to act as mounted infantry...The native officers and non-commissioned officers are men of intelligence and well instructed; in one of the Sketches now presented they appear to be studying a map, previously to starting on an expedition. The Burmese Civil Police, formed of natives of Burmah, is an entirely separate force'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
