After the tragedy of Kut - in which many soldiers perished in Turkish captivity - the regiment was re-formed from its surviving remnants and saw service in the Palestinian campaign in the closing months of the war.<ref>[http://www.naval-military-press.com/historical-record-110th-mahratta-light-infantry-during-the-great-war.html ''HIstorical Record 110th Mahratta Light Infantry, During The Great War''] is available as a reprint from Naval and Military Press</ref>

Full title: ''Valour enshrined. A history of the Maratha Light Infantry, 1768-1947'' by M.G. Abhyankar [Volume1], published 1971. (There was a second volume published, by C.L.
