The 83rd Wallajahbad Light Infantry were an infantry regiment in the British Indian Army. They could trace their origins to 1794, when they were raised as the 33rd Madras Battalion. They took part in the Battle of Seringapatam during the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War and the Second Burmese War. ==First World War== The regiment was stationed at Secunderabad in 1914 on the outbreak of war and was here until at least early 1916. They sent a wing of the regiment as a draft to the 63rd Palamcottah L. I. in 1914, which saw action in East Africa until December 1916, when it rejoined the regiment at Mandalay. Meanwhile the other wing was sent to serve in the Persian Gulf from 21 September 1916, being split up in detachments between Jask, Chabahar, Bandar Abbas, Henjam, Kishm Island, Lingeh and Bahrain, all port towns on the Gulf of Oman relieving the 94th Infantry detachments previously stationed there until they were relieved by the 3rd Brahmins from 16 July 1917. They were joined by the other wing of the regiment and were sent to serve in Mesopotamia, where they were successively stationed at Basra, Tanoomah, and Nar Oomah from 24 July 1917 to 3 May 1919.〔History of the Great War - Operations in Persia 1914-1919 compiled by Brigadier-General F.
