Default 103rd Mahratta Light Infantry badge

Hi all,

I don’t have a lot of experience with Indian army badges but believe this to be a cast WM 103rd Mahratta LI badge. The regiment has a proud service history and a host of been there did that battle honours. It is brooched so it says pagri badge to me with that fitting. A large and pleasing to the eye badge, not my thing but maybe of interest to other members, cheers Dean

Hi Dean,

Thank you for sharing. A nice badge from a fine unit. It went into the bag at Kut in 1916.
