    Thumbs up Khyber Rifles

    This morning on AMC King of the Khyber Rifles. Lots of military kilts and a pipe and drum band at the end! Tyrone Power 1953 in Color!

    It's a movie:

    "King, of the Khyber Rifles", about the British fighting in India and Afghanistan in the mid-19th century. Good flick...!

    I was under the impression that the Sepoys were native Indians who were part of the British Army.

    That's what I said; privates in the British Indian Army, i.e. Indian troops in British service, which is different from the regular British Army. Perhaps I should have said, "Army of the Raj"?
