107th Pioneers

The 107th Pioneers was a British Indian Army unit established in the late 19th century, primarily active during the colonial period in India. Formed in 1886, the regiment was part of the Pioneer Corps, which specialized in engineering tasks, including road and railway construction, bridging, and other logistical support activities crucial for military operations in difficult terrains. Notably, the 107th Pioneers played an integral role during World War I, deploying to various theaters where they contributed to essential engineering and labor tasks. Post-war, the regiment was reorganized and eventually disbanded in 1922. The legacy of the 107th Pioneers is significant in the context of military engineering development and infrastructure in colonial India.
