Report of the Bengal-Punjab Rifle Association 1898-99

1899

4. Donors of Rs.100 to the funds of the Association and donors of prizes of the value of not less than Rs 200 to be competed for at the Annual Prize Meeting shall be entitled to be enrolled as Life-Members of the Association. [...] 9. The Medals of the Association shall have on the obverse the device of a Royal Tiger with N. I. R. A. 1863-86 " and on the reverse a laurel wreath encircling a space for the winner's name and round the wreath the words " Bengal Presidency Rifle Association " this being the name by which the Association was first known after it was amalgamated with the " Nothern India Rifle Association." 10 [...] The abolition of the Presidency Commands and the establishment of the Bengal and Punjab Commands has rendered it advisable to make a correspoiding alteration in the title of the Rifle Assocition which is common to bash Commands and it has been decided to adopt the suggestion made some time ago that the Association be in future known as the Bengal-Punjab Rifle Association. [...] The field operations in the Swat Valley prevented the team of the Queen's from being present at Meerut and also delayed the Sussex team until the meeting was half through but in spite of this unfavourable handicap the Sussex team shot brilliantly and finished up by making the highest score of all the British Army teams in the Commander-in-Chief's competition. [...] The shooting of the Native Army (using the Martini-Henry) was on the whole somewhat below the standard of the shooting at Meerut during the last few years and prizes were won with scores that would not have come into the prize-lists on previous occasions.
