152nd Punjabis

The 152nd Punjabis, originally formed in the early 20th century as part of the British Indian Army, were an infantry regiment notable for their significant contributions during World War I and World War II. Established in 1922, the regiment primarily consisted of soldiers from the Punjab region of India, reflecting the diverse ethnic composition and martial traditions of the area. Renowned for their bravery and discipline, the 152nd Punjabis played a crucial role in various military campaigns, especially in the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Post-independence in 1947, the regiment was incorporated into the Indian Army, where it continues to uphold a legacy of valor and service, participating in numerous operations and peacekeeping missions.
