The Regular Infantry Regiments of the British Indian Army

The 1922 Reorganisation into Large Regiments

The Pre 1901 column shows the origin of the regiments, their establishment and number.

The 1901 Column shows the titles as they were in 1901. No secundairy titles shown here.

In 1903 all regiments were numbered in two Indian Army lists, one for Line Infantry and one for Gurkha Rifles. The next column shows the full titles.

The last column shows the 1922 large regiments. The Pioneers were now in a list of their own. These large regiments had a training battalion that was numbered the 10^th.
