Who Were the 67th Punjabis?
The 67th Punjabis were a famous part of the British Indian Army. This army was made up of soldiers from India, but it was led by British officers. They were first formed way back in 1759.
Their History and Changes
After a very big war called World War I (which happened from 1914 to 1918), the government in India decided to make some changes to the army. In 1922, the 67th Punjabis were reorganized. They became two new groups: the 1st and 10th (Training) Battalions of the 2nd Punjab Regiment. A battalion is a large group of soldiers, usually part of a bigger regiment.
What Happened Next?
India became an independent country in 1947. After this, the army was divided. The 2nd Punjab Regiment, which included the former 67th Punjabis, became part of the new Indian Army. This meant they continued to serve their country, but now under India's own government.
