MORADABAD TENT CLUB

 dating back to the time when troops were stationed at 

 Moradabad. In the year 1899 Faunthorpe and Cassells 

 (I.C.S.) did a lot of pig-sticking, and presumably ran a 

 " Tent Club." Mr. Martin (I.P.) took over a log from 

 T. K. Johnston (I.C.S.) in 1908, and since then a log has 

 been regularly kept up. The bags were as follows :
