19th Indian Infantry Brigade

The 19th Indian Infantry Brigade was a distinguished formation of the British Indian Army during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Formed in 1901, the brigade primarily played a vital role in the colonial military structure of India, participating in various campaigns and operations throughout the Indian subcontinent. Initially stationed in the Punjab region, the brigade's composition included a mix of Indian and British troops, reflecting the diverse military recruitment practices of the era. The 19th Indian Infantry Brigade contributed significantly to British military objectives, including actions in the Second Anglo-Boer War and campaigns against tribal uprisings. The brigade was disbanded after World War I, marking the end of its operational relevance as India moved towards independence.
