=====Indian Regiments =====

After the recapture of [[Calcutta]] in 1757, fighting units of [[sepoy|sepoys]] were raised with officers from the [[Madras (Presidency)|Madras]] establishment. These units were called battalions until 1781 when they became regiments. Originally numbered (as the[[ British Army]]) with the 1st being the oldest and the highest number being the youngest, in 1764 the battalions were numbered according to the seniority of their captains. There were subsequent re-numberings in 1775, 1781, 1784, 1796 and 1824 which makes identifying regiments at any particular time quite difficult. The numbering adopted in the lists found in the [[:Category:Bengal Infantry Regiments|Category page]] is generally that of 1824.
