102nd Regiment of Foot (Royal Madras Fusiliers)
The 102nd Regiment of Foot (Royal Madras Fusiliers) was a distinguished infantry regiment of the British Army, formed in 1824 and primarily associated with British India. Originating as a battalion of local volunteers, the regiment gained prominence for its role in various military campaigns throughout India, including the Second Anglo-Sikh War and the Indian Rebellion of 1857. Renowned for its service, the regiment was awarded several battle honors and garnered a reputation for valor and discipline. In 1922, it was amalgamated with the 103rd Regiment of Foot to form the Royal Dublin Fusiliers, reflecting the broader changes in military organization. The regiment's legacy remains an integral part of British military history in India.
