126th Baluchistan Infantry

The 126th Baluchistan Infantry was a distinguished regiment of the British Indian Army, formed in 1886 and stationed primarily in the regions of British India, with a notable history influenced by the cultural and military traditions of Baluchistan. Originally raised to serve in the mountainous terrains of the Indian subcontinent, the regiment participated in various military campaigns, including engagements during the Second Anglo-Afghan War and World War I. Renowned for its exceptional valour and discipline, the regiment played a key role in maintaining order in frontier areas and contributed significantly to British military operations across India. Post-independence, elements of the regiment transitioned into the modern Indian Army, reflecting the enduring legacy of the 126th Baluchistan Infantry.
