THE SAM BROWNE BELT
No article of military accontre-
ment: has so far achieved such world
wide adoption in the armed forces of
mortal lean as has the "Sant Browne"
belt.
Few know the story of the 9ndivid-
nal who has achieved such lasting
and imperishable fame. 13e was nor,
as is popularly supposed, an Alnet'i-
c'un, and has no connection with the
immortal ..John of the American civil
Dar.
Samuel James Browne was born
in India in 182,1-41 is father, an East
India Co.'s surgeon; his mother, a
Royal Naval officer's daughter. Sent
holm' for his schooling, at 16 he vats
ou itis way back Wast with t subalt-
e17n'a commission in. the Bengal army
stowed somewhere in his baggage.
The voyage took four mouths, and
gave Samuel James his first taste of
mutiny. For the crew "struck," tried
their measure with the passengers,
and the latter had to wort the ship
until the mutineers were stunned into
being good boys. His first years hi
India 001'1 not unpleasant. He served
iu peaceful parts, where the monot.
any was relieved by the lavish enter-
tainments given by the local poten-
tates.
Sam's tiroeinitnl did not come 11n -
til he was 04. By then he was adjut-
ant of his corps, the 40th Bengal Na-
tive Infantry. He was present at the
actions of the second Sikh war. His
inlpro,siots are largely confined to
such incidents as the shooting away
of an artilleryntan's saddle by to
small canom-billl, tvhicrll injured nei-
ther horse nor rider, and a. brother
officer producing after the day's work
an army list to mark off the chaps
as they were knocked over, Promo-
tion, be it noted, was then a case of
dead men's shoes.
The second Sikh war led to the
annexation of the Punjab. The gttv-
ernn1e11t of India didn't want to do it
--they had much ton much on then'
]lands as it was. But they had to.
Those bearded warriors, who ever
since have fought with an unexampl-
ed loyalty for Britain in India, simply
could not agree who amongst them-
selves was to he the ruler of their
country. Incorporation within the em-
pire meant a heavy increase in mili-
tary responsibilities. The new front-
ier --the land of "Bengal Lauver."
"Gunge Din” and "The Drum"— was
even worse then than the "talkies"
show it today. '1'o meet the difficulty
and to give employment to the (Be-
headed Skit soldiery, the famous
Punjab frontier force has created.
Saul Browne was detailed to raise a
cavalry regiment for border duty. IIe
did it. And "Sant Browne's Cavalry"
still has a proud place in the Indian
army List of today.
It was while serving in his many
frontier campaigns that Sam Browne
devised the idea of his belt, the prim
cipie of which was to 8e0111e tIc re-
volver so that if it went off accident•
ally,' as it often did, no harm would
come to the wearer, while the sword
could be hooked up and seemed, thus
leaving both arms free; the whole to
conte off and go on with the maximum
of speed and ease.
But tile Great Mutiny canter and
Sam had to turn his thoughts to more
serious matters. Early one August
morning in 1858, Samuel, now a maj-
or, found himself alone with one of
his trooper's confronted by a field -
gun, manned by a crew of well -armed
desperadoes. Attack was certainly the
safest form of defence. Sam and his
Indian other rank tried. There fol-
lowed a first-class hand-to-hand scrap.
Sam won. But he, too, nearly took the
count. His reward was a V.C. and
promotion to lieutenant -colonel Nev-
ertheless, he was minus his left MITI.
But his inventive mind—he was the
originator of sewing chain burnishers
on to shoulders to prevent. heavy
sword -cuts, which were for many
years 11 familiar article of cavalry-
man's attire --turned hack to his belt.
He perfected it, and so the "Sam
Browne" was born.
The inventor continued his etu'eer,
and became a colonel in 1864, major -
general 1868, lieutenant -general 1877.
He commanded the Peshawar valley
field force whieh eleared the Khyber
during the first stage of the Afghan
war in 1878. But worry, coupled with
1 the strain of his early years, took its
the K,C.S.I. it 1876—departed from
India, He diel not go unrewarded. for
Queen Victoria made hint a K.C.B.
anti both Houses of Parliament
thanked him. He became a general in
1888. receiving the G.C.B. in 1591. He
died in the Isle of Wight, aged 76, in
1901. Itis monuments are his belt, his
regiment, and a mural tablet in St.
Paul's cathedral.
The original "Sam - Browne" belt
as finally perfected by the general,
differs very little from the present
sealed pattern. It was widely adopt-
ed by Indian cavalry from the early
days, as well as by British officers
serving abroad. It 'did not, however,
become an 'official article of war of-
fice dress until 1898.
The French were the first to copy
the "Sam Browne, the "Centurou
Baudrier" becoming the regulation in
1919. Likewise followed the Ameri-
can, first with the "Liberty" with
black metal -work, and later the Brit-
ish pattern.

cepted as a truism when applied to
The early settler; in this new land, no
matter what their race may have
hien. One reason for this lhclicf is to
be found in the fact that in almost all
localities the people were of one na-
tionality and owing to the early diffi-
culties eneonntered this was well.
The Irish settlement felt like one
fancily and naturally helped one an-
other. The Scotch, Brenc'h, English,

Zurich is also the "capital" of the

though we pronounce the last letter

Germans.
The first settler on the village site
was Frederick Knell, a Swiss, who
was the firss storekeeper and when a
post office was established in 1&&5'7 he
was appointed postmaster. Other earl-
iest settlers were Peter Deichardt and
Frederick Axt, 'bout of whom were

Zurich may well be proud of some
of her public Wren. Alvin Surerns and
Ret-. R, Geiger. of the United church,
are 0(1(11at,ding young men who have
distinguished themselves along educa-"
tional lines. J. J. Merner, ex-M.P.,
represented South Huron from 1111111
to about 1'0.211. Of German -Swiss ori-
gin he was .supported in his election
campaigns by those on both sides of
politics most enthusiastically 'hy those
of his parents' nationality.
Another fancily name found often
ini the history of Zurich is that of
Hess. Back in the lI8th century their
forefathers emigrated from Ireland
and settled in Germany close to the
border of Switzerland. One member
of the family ibecame reeve sof Hay
and afterwards succeeded Hon, J. S.
Latta as township clerk, about 1900;
and this office has remained in the
family ever since. •
This smart little village, though
six miles from a ra'il'road, has held its
own in a rather manner than most
small plates, :principally owing to the
loyalty of its citizens.
