East Indian idols guarded and saluted by British troops
A British goal of honor in India presents arms to a stone tiger daily, revered as a god by natives. After a revolt scare, Lord Combermere restored the image and troops salute it. Another idol, Kink Kink, is watched in Burma to avert calamity. In Cairo a sacred carpet associated with Mohamed is carried and saluted by the khdiv e and troops. The veiled memorial is carefully guarded each morning with a sword and three bugle blasts.
