14th Punjab Regiment

The 14th Punjab Regiment was an esteemed infantry regiment of the British Indian Army, originally raised in 1846. Distinguished for its service across various theaters, including both World Wars and notable conflicts on the Indian subcontinent, the regiment played a pivotal role in the military history of India. The regiment's lineage included several battalions, each with a rich heritage of valor and sacrifice. After India's independence in 1947, the 14th Punjab Regiment was integrated into the Indian Army and re-designated as the 14th Punjab Battalion. It is celebrated for its contributions to national defense and continues to uphold a legacy of courage and dedication within contemporary military operations.
