*In 1860 the [[3rd Bombay (European) Regiment]], later the 109th Regiment of Foot in India was joined by over 500 men of the Jaeger Corps who had volunteered from the Cape Colony (part of South Africa under British Occupation until 1910) for service in India on the outbreak of the Indian Mutiny. The Jager (Jaeger) Corps had its origin in the German Legion sent to the Crimea, which was then resettled in South Africa, although some of the men were not German.
