Hi BC,

In WW1 Indian cavalry units on the western front formed MG Sqns but continued to wear the badge of their parent unit. Post 1922 there were MG Companies of the Auxiliary Force India which wore a shoulder title MGC with A (examples exist with it situated both above and below). The AFI detachment in East Africa wore a shoulder title : Volunteer Maching Gun Company. The Coorg & Mysore MG Coy AFI had a special embroidered badge. The Bikaner State Forces also had a special MG Coy badge. During WW2 the badge of the newly raised Mahar MG Regt featured crossed machine guns. While Indian infantry regts raised MG Bns the only one to have a distinctive badge was that of the 12th Frontier Force Regt which wore a shoulder title with MG above a curved FF REGT.
