Description

Bombay, India. 1919-03-05. Members of the 1st Wireless Signal Squadron, Mesopotamian Expeditionary Force, stage a short `mutiny' beside a train to Deolali during demobilisation. They were protesting against the decision not to grant them any leave in the city but to move them on in poor accommodation to a country station. After a number of hours they yielded to the orders. (Donor E. Keast Burke)
