151st Infantry Brigade (United Kingdom)

The 151st Infantry Brigade was a notable formation of the British Army, primarily active during the period of British colonial rule in India. Initially raised in 1941, the brigade was part of the Indian Army during World War II, contributing significantly to various operational campaigns across the Indian subcontinent. Notably, the brigade participated in the defense of British interests against Japanese advances in Southeast Asia. It was composed of a mix of British and Indian soldiers, reflecting the diverse makeup of the colonial military. The brigade's legacy continued post-war, with many units evolving into independent regiments within the Indian Army following Indian independence in 1947, marking a significant transition in military history in the region.
