- Cap badge, 7th Regiment of Bombay Infantry, 1885-1900. Brass badge with regimental number, ‘7’, within a garter bearing the title ‘Bombay Infantry’, with red backing, surmounted by an Imperial Crown, within a wreath. The regiment originated as the 4th Battalion Bombay Sepoys in the Bombay Army of the East India Company. In 1824 the unit became the 7th Regiment of Bombay Native Infantry, dropping the title ‘Native’ in 1885. In 1900 the regiment was renamed the 7th Bombay Infantry (Pioneers)| and, with the reform of the Indian Army, became the 107th Pioneers in 1903. In 1922, with the amalgamation of Indian Army pioneer units, it formed the 1st Battalion, 2nd Bombay Pioneers. From the Field Marshal Sir John Chapple Indian Army Collection.
