111th Indian Infantry Brigade

The 111th Indian Infantry Brigade was a prominent formation of the British Indian Army during World War II, known for its significant contributions to the Indian independence movement and its role in various military campaigns. Formed in 1941, the brigade was part of the 23rd Indian Infantry Division and primarily operated in the theatre of operations in Assam and Southeast Asia. Comprised of several battalions, the brigade showcased a diverse composition of Indian soldiers, reflecting the multi-ethnic character of the Indian military at the time. In addition to its combat engagements, the brigade played a critical role in supporting civil administration and providing humanitarian assistance in war-affected areas. The legacy of the 111th Brigade continues to influence contemporary Indian military history and commemorates the valor and sacrifices of its soldiers.
