==Jager Corps connection==
The 33rd Regiment of Foot, in the [[Abyssinian Campaign]] of 1867-8, included some men originally from the [[Jager Corps]]<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 in India from the [[3rd Bombay (European) Regiment|109th Regiment]], possibly to take part in the campaign.
