104th Regiment of Foot
The 104th Regiment of Foot, also known as the 104th (Bengal) Regiment of Foot, was a British infantry regiment formed in the late 18th century, primarily active in colonial India. Established in 1760, the regiment played a significant role in various military campaigns during the British Raj, including the Anglo-Maratha Wars and the suppression of local uprisings. Known for its resilience and adaptability, the regiment participated in key operations against both indigenous forces and rival colonial powers. In 1881, the 104th merged with other regiments during reorganization of the British Army, becoming part of the 1st Battalion, the Royal Irish Fusiliers. The regiment's legacy is marked by its contributions to British military history in South Asia.
