- 107th Regiment of Foot (Bengal Light Infantry)
The 107th Regiment of Foot (Bengal Light Infantry) was an infantry regiment of the British Army from 1862 to 1881, when it was amalgamated into The Royal Sussex Regiment.
The regiment was originally formed by the Honourable East India Company in 1854 as the 3rd Bengal (European) Light Infantry, and served in the Indian Mutiny of 1857. As with all other "European" units of the Company, they were placed under the command of the Crown in 1858, and formally moved into the British Army in 1862, ranked as the 107th Foot.
As part of the Cardwell Reforms in 1881, the regiment was amalgamated with the 35th (Royal Sussex) Regiment of Foot to form The Royal Sussex Regiment.
