79th Carnatic Infantry
The 79th Carnatic Infantry was an infantry regiment of the British Indian Army. They could trace their origins to 1777, when the 20th Carnatic Battalion was raised from sub-units of the 1st, 3rd, 8th and 16th Carnatic Battalions.
==History==
As part of the Madras Army, the regiment took part in the Battle of Carnatic, the Battle of Sholinghur, the Battle of Seringapatam during the Second Anglo-Mysore War and the Indian Mutiny.
In 1903, under a general policy to move the focus for recruitment from Madras to the "martial races" of North-West India, the establishment of the 79th Carnatic Infantry was reduced to 600 officers and men. The intention was reduce this and other Carnatic units which still retained their traditional recruiting basis, to garrison troops. However the influx of recruits from southern India on the outbreak of World War I enabled the 79th Carnatic Infantry not only to be brought up to full strength, but to provide a complete company for the newly raised 1/156th Infantry.〔John Gaylor, page 38 "Sons of John Company", ISBN 0-946771-98-7〕 By 1914 the regiment was linked ("grouped") with the 75th Carnatic Infantry and the 86th Carnatic Infantry, with a shared recruitment and training centre at Secunderabad.〔John Gaylor, page 8 "Sons of John Company", ISBN 0-946771-98-7〕
During World War I the 79th Carnatic Infantry was assigned to Mesopotamia for service against the Ottoman Turks. Initially the regiment performed lines of communication and garrison functions but it saw active service in Kurdistan after November 1918.〔John Gaylor, page 138 "Sons of John Company", ISBN 0-946771-98-7〕
