66th Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry

Mutiny

Upon the annexation of the Punjab, the foreign duty allowance for troops serving there was discontinued. This caused the 66th to mutiny. The rebellion was put down and the regiment marched to Ambala where it was disbanded by Sir Charles Napier on 27 February 1850.
