108th (Madras Infantry) Regiment of Foot
However, it was raised initially as part of the Madras Army, by the East India Company (EIC) in 1766.In the aftermath of the Indian Rebellion (1857), the British government took control of the Presidency Armies and the 108th became also known by the name 3rd Madras Infantry.[2] After the Crown took control of the Presidency armies in the aftermath of the Indian Rebellion, the regiment became the 3rd Madras Infantry in November 1859.[1] It was then renumbered as the 108th Regiment of Foot (Madras Infantry) on transfer to the British Army in September 1862.[2] As part of the Cardwell Reforms of the 1870s, where single-battalion regiments were linked together to share a single depot and recruiting district in the United Kingdom, the 108th was linked with the 27th (Inniskilling) Regiment of Foot, and assigned to district no.
