An old archival photograph of my paternal grandfather, Shyamala Ranga Bhashyam Naidu, seated, 3rd from right, in a smashing stylish pale cream suit, with a sola hat. This was probably the day of retirement of his Boss, in the Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway Regiment which was one of the provincial Indian Railway Armed Regiments. His boss is seated in the centre, and my paternal grandfather took over from him, sometime in 1935-1940, near or possibly in Ratlam or Vijayawada.
The Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway Regiment were an auxiliary regiment under the Bombay command of the British India army. They comprised staff ofthe Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway. They had an armed regiment dressed in Khakhi, HQ in Mumbai, called "B, B & Cir Vol. Rifle Corps"
