Here is a detailed post on this discovery. More evidence that such iron tube encased war rockets were used not in Mysore but in Awadh as well!

Looks like these men are rocketeers indeed!

Nidhin just informed me that text below each soldier confirms it. Huzzah!

Just chanced upon this image on Wellcome Collection.

I feel this could be another possible depiction of #MysoreRockets !! The similarities with watercolors done by Robert Home are uncanny.

If the speculation turns out to be correct this would add to the rare few known depictions of these rockets from that time (late 1700s to early 1800s ). 🤞🏽🚀
