1st Brahmans

Bharatpur The 1st Brahmans was an infantry regiment of the British Indian Army.

It was accordingly one of the small number of Bengal regular infantry regiments to retain the traditions of East India Company service in the new post-Mutiny army.

[3] Renumbered as the 1st of the Bengal line, it subsequently saw active service in the Third Anglo-Burmese War of 1885–87.

Following the Kitchener reforms of the Indian Army, when the names of the presidencies were dropped, the regiment became the 1st Brahman Infantry in 1901.

[4][6] The regiment spent part of World War I in India before being posted to Aden, then under threat from Ottoman forces.
