Some of the men from the Jager Corps ended up with the [[33rd Regiment of Foot]] in the [[Abyssinian Campaign]] of 1867-8.<ref>References quoted in [http://samilitaryhistory.org/vol134es.html "'When I was in Poona!' The German Volunteer Battalion in India"], see [[Jager Corps]]</ref> The 33rd Foot was in India when the expedition to Abyssinia was organised, and had been there since 1857, so it seems very likely these men had transferred from the 109th Regiment, possibly to take part in the campaign.
There are India Office Records at the British Library
