101st Regiment of Foot (Royal Bengal Fusiliers) : ウィキペディア英語版 | 101st Regiment of Foot (Royal Bengal Fusiliers)
The 101st Regiment of Foot (Royal Bengal Fusiliers) was a regiment of the British Army from 1862 to 1881. They possessed a previous history in the Bengal Army dating back to 1652. ==History==
The regiment was formed as part of the Honourable East India Company's army firstly as a Guard of Honour in 1652. By 1756 it was renamed the Bengal European Regiment - 'European' indicating it was composed of white soldiers, not Indian sepoys. When this regiment was split in 1765, it became the 1st Bengal European Regiment. In 1846 it became the 1st Bengal European Fusiliers, also referred to in contemporary official papers, with inverted word ordering, as 1st European Bengal Fusiliers.〔For example in the correspondence of Lt.Col. George Gladwin Denniss(1821-1862) (ed. P. Chantler, South Molton, 2010) who invariably placed the word "European" before "Bengal"〕 It retained this title until British India was transferred to British rule after the Indian Mutiny of 1857. The "European" was then dropped and replaced by Royal. Thus, the title in 1861 became the 1st Royal Bengal Fusiliers. The regiment was then transferred to the British Army and renumbered as the 101st Regiment of Foot at the same time retaining the Royal Bengal name. In 1881 it was combined with the 104th Regiment of Foot (Bengal Fusiliers) to form part of the new Royal Munster Fusiliers.
