The Regular Infantry Regiments of the British Indian Army

The Regiments in 1902

In 1901 the titles were shortened by leaving out the expression Regiment of. This would reduce most names to e.g. 10^th Bombay Infantry, but as many regiments by now had names of a class of the population as secondary title, these were used in those cases. Thus e.g. the 10^th (Jat) Regiment of Bengal Infantry became the 10^th Jat Infantry.

These are the last titles before the creation of one list for the whole Indian Army in 1903.
