The 112th Infantry, also known as the 112th Indian Infantry Regiment, was a distinguished regiment of the British Indian Army formed in 1857. Initially raised during the Indian Rebellion, the regiment played a critical role in various conflicts throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries. It gained notoriety for its exemplary service in World War I, distinguishing itself in multiple campaigns across the Middle East and Europe. In 1922, the 112th Infantry was reorganized and ultimately became part of the Indian Army following India's independence in 1947.
