At the time this picture was taken they had not long been organized, and there was much room for improvement; they had a somewhat picturesque, though not a very formidable, appearance; they were armed with some of Theebaw’s old muskets, which on the occurrence of any dacoity [robbery] or row near at hand, they promptly let off, thereby, at all events, producing a moral effect which did no harm…they will doubtless be of value in quelling disturbances when once the country is fairly in our hands.”
