Plassey, the pet tiger of the Royal Madras Fusiliers, 1870 circa.
Carte de visite photograph, 1870 circa.
The regimental pet of the 102nd Regiment of Foot (Royal Madras Fusiliers) was a Bengal tiger cub called Plassey. He was named after Robert Clives famous victory of 1757, which was also a battle honour of the Madras Fusiliers. Indeed, the cap badge of the Fusiliers also depicted a tiger, a beast much respected in Indian culture for its strength, grace and power.
Plassey was one of a pair of tigers captured by Captain Frank Thackwell of the 5th Lancers, and presented by him to the Fusiliers. Legend has it that Plassey was fairly tame and even on friendly terms with the 102nds other regimental pets in India, an antelope and a dog. In 1868, after 233 years of Indian service, the 102nd were shipped to England for the first time. Plassey came with them and was certainly well behaved on the voyage home from India, when he was in the company of two young leopards. On arrival, he lived unchained with the garrison at Dover, but apparently alarmed the local inhabitants on several occasions. He was reluctantly sent to the local zoological gardens, where he eventually died.
