The army military prison at Trimulgherry in ,Secunderbad in India .
( An improved image of the institution with a modified text.)
The above partially hand-tinted original picture was taken by a British Army Officer
during his service in India in circa 1928 .
It is suggested in a Flickr user's comment text added to the original upload of the above picture that the Military Reformatory in Trimulgherry India has similarity to Windsor Castle , London because of its construction from a white stone ! Well, any white stone apart - I am very much bewildered by that proposition as any reasonable similarities with the famous London castle , be they cosmetic or concerning structural purpose are not credible .
In Flickr user's comment [ further below ] , the Indian prison is identified as a grim purpose built institution of punishment - a place with seventyfive bare, whitewashed cells and small windows wordlessly implying a regime of harsh confinements .

Military Reformatory, Trimulgherry.
Trimulgherry is a suburb of Secunderabad in Andhrapradesh, India.
"The reformatory was constructed in the 1870s as a jail for the British Indian Army. Its cellular form recalls the famous Andaman Jail also built during the British period of Indian History. Its long corridors and verandahs, its austere cells and its execution chamber communicate a sense of awe mingled with respect. The building has both historic and architectural significance. It is maintained in excellent condition by the Indian Army.

"There is another place that has many whispered stories to tell: the Military Reformatory in Trimulgherry. Built on the lines of Windsor Castle in white stone, this heritage building that sends shivers down the spines of the more sensitive. Seventy-five bare, whitewashed cells with small windows tell you wordlessly what confinement can mean. Broad stairs become narrow and steeper as you climb the next level. A central room with spikes on the floor must give you some inkling of what’s to come. The steps leading upstairs are narrower still, more treacherous… designed in fact to be inconsiderate. You know then that you are retracing the steps of the 500 men who met their death from the gallows here. The pulleys hang high and the ropes lie limp but they’re ominous. A narrow rectangle aperture reveals the spikes below. Even further up is the roof, which tells you why this building is called ‘the Ironic Crown of Secunderabad’ – a round tower with crenellations rises tall out of the rocky ground, imperious and crown-like, promising sure punishment for treachery and insubordination.

When I first put the picture of the army military prison at Teimulghary on-line last year I did not realise the prison's grim history. When comment text from a Flickr user was added my reaction was to remove the image . After reflection I have reinstated it , since it is obviously a significant historical photograph . [L.S. April 23rd , 2008. ]

Captain Suresh ( June 22nd 2008 ) has said :
" I used to do "Duty Officer" once a week in 1986. Now this area can not be recognised at all, all around packed with building construction.
I think, the spelling of the name is not correct, its something like Trimulgiry
or Trimulghury. "

If you scroll down the page you come to a fine picture of three NCO’s captioned:-
“Non-commissioned officers of the Northamptonshire Regiment in 1896 at Secunderbad, India, where the battalion was then stationed. Schoolmaster D. Gould (on the left) is shown with Sergeant-Major Noon and Bandmaster Pepperell.”
On the 1901 Census , the 44 year old William, who had been born at Newbridge in Ireland, was living at 18 Old Palace Road, Norwich, and was employed as a Starch Maker. He was living there with his 40 year old wife Caroline who had been born in Colchester, and their 18 year old daughter Maud who was born at Leeds.
This would appear to be the only time William appears on the census for England & Wales.
The 1st Battalion certainly seems to have been involved on active operations up until 1898 on the North West Frontier of India, receiving three Battle Honours as a result.
This includes
"The Last Stand Of The 'Northamptons' At Saran Sar, Nov 9. 1897."
"Our gallant troops were in difficulties on the ridge after fierce and desperate fighting, and a signal was given to some of the Northamptons to seek assistance from the nearest quarter. Grandly they executed their mission; but on the return Lieut. Macintire and 12 men were cut away by the enemy. Wounded men lay around them and they would not desert them. Hoping in vain for help, they fought under the shadow of the rugged rocks until not a man was left. Their stripped bodies were found next day: Macintire well to the front. They did their best for England, home and duty, and they did not die in vain. The wounded were all brought in. True specimens, these gallant boys, of British pluck and heroism !"

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tirah_Campaign
On 31 October 1897, 9,700 troops of the 12,000-strong Tirah Expeditionary Force under General Sir W.S.A. Lockhart, KCB, KCSI entered Afridi Tirah and camped at Maidan. On 9 November, a reconnaissance was made of the crest of Saran Sar 5 miles east of Maidan. A Force commanded by Brigadier General Westmacott and consisting of: No. 8 Mountain Battery, Royal Artillery; No. 5 Bombay Mountain Battery; No.4 Company Madras Sappers and Miners; 1st Battalion The Dorsetshire Regiment; 1st Battalion The Northamptonshire Regiment and 15th and 36th Sikhs was chosen to make this reconnaissance. Writing his despatch from Rawalpindi on 26 January 1898, Lockhart reported that: ‘During the advance but few of the enemy showed themselves, but in the retirement, which began at 2 P.M., the Northamptonshire Regiment forming the rear-guard was closely pressed. Its movement from the crest into the valley, which was much delayed by the steepness of the descent and by the number of wounded men who had to be carried by their comrades, was covered by the guns, the flanks being held by the two Sikh regiments. Eventually a portion of the Northamptonshire Regiment became entangled in a deep ravine, where they were fired into at close quarters by the tribesmen. The 36th Sikhs were sent back to extricate them, but evening was coming on, and before assistance could be rendered a party consisting of an officer and 12 men was cut off and shot down. Had the battalion kept to the high ground where its flanks were protected by the two Sikh regiments, its loss would probably have been small; but unfortunately a route was chosen which offered every tactical advantage to the enemy, the result being that some of our troops became isolated, and were then attacked in overwhelming numbers.’
The bodies of the fallen, many of them mutilated were recovered the following day. The ferocity of the attack may be judged by the number of casualties, especially the wounded/killed ratio, the Northamptons suffered one officer, Second Lieutenant A.H. McIntyre, who with 12 other ranks made the famous last stand, killed and one wounded and 21 NCO’s and men killed (or died of wounds) and 27 wounded.
Before Tirah The Northamptonshire Regiment had escaped battle casualties but during this campaign their losses totalled three offices killed and one wounded and 26 other ranks killed (or died of wounds) and 40 wounded.

Traditionally the bandsmen of a regiment served as the stretcher bearers in battle, and cared for the wounded, a role that was supervised by the Bandmaster. Thus amongst the dead of the small party cut-off whilst bringing in the wounded we find two drummers, men who would probably have been well known to William.
Major General Dudley Graham Johnson VC, CB, DSO & Bar, MC (13 February 1884 - 21 December 1975) served with the Wiltshire Regiment in the Second Boer War. He transferred to The South Wales Borderers in 1903.
He was 34 years old, and an acting lieutenant-colonel in the The South Wales Borderers, commanding 2nd Battalion, The Royal Sussex Regiment during the First World War when the following deed took place at the Sambre Canal, France for which he was awarded the VC.
On 4 November 1918 at Sambre Canal, France, the 2nd Infantry Brigade, of which the 2nd Battalion, The Royal Sussex Regiment formed part, was ordered to cross by the lock south of Catillon. The position was strong and the assaulting and bridging parties were halted on arrival at the waterway 100 yards from the canal by a heavy barrage. At this point Lieutenant-Colonel Johnson arrived and personally led an assault but heavy fire again broke up the attack. He reorganized the assaulting and bridging parties and this time effected a crossing but the success of this dangerous operation was entirely due to his splendid leadership.
Between the wars he held a number of instruction and staff posts before being appointed Commanding Officer of 2nd Bn North Staffordshire Regiment in 1928. He became Commander of 12th (Secunderbad) Infantry Brigade in 1933 and General Officer Commanding 4th Division from 1938 to 1940. He was replaced as divisional commander after Dunkirk and made GOC of Aldershot Command later on in 1940 before becoming Inspector of Infantry in 1941. He retired in 1944 and was Colonel of the South Wales Borderers from 1944 to 1949.
He died on 21st December 1975 and is buried in the church at Church Crookham, Hampshire.

Hyderabad is the fifth largest city in India with an ancient civilisation and culture. Hyderabad and Secunderbad are twin cities, separated by the Husain Sagar lake. Hyderabad occupies a unique position on the map of India. With its confluence of cultures and traditions, the city is often described as a link between the north and the south, and a meeting place of the east and the west. The city is nearly 400 years old and is noted for its natural beauty, mosques and minarets, bazaars and bridges, hills and lakes
