Actually, this information is incorrect. The badge illustrated is the badge adopted when the Mahar Regt was raised in Second World War and NOT in the first World War. The First World War badge worn by 111th Mahars appears in Ashok Nath's book Sowars and Sepoys in the Great War, namely a wreath surmounted with a Tudor Crown within the wreath MAHAR and 111 superimposed on it. The Mahar Regt later in WW2 became an MG regt and the badge was accordingly changed.
