- 71st_Coorg_Rifles abstract "The 71st Coorg Rifles were an infantry regiment of the British Indian Army. They could trace their origins to 1767, when they were raised as the 15th Battalion Coast Sepoys. The regiment served in the Third Anglo-Mysore War but saw no more active service during the nineteenth century. In 1901 as the 11th Madras Infantry, it was reorganized and the basis of recruitment changed from Tamil and Telagu to Coorg soldiers. The Coorgs had not previously been recruited into the Indian Army and this conversion was seen as a test of both their availability and suitability for military service. The restructured regiment was renamed the 71st Coorg Rifles in 1903, and given dark green uniforms with scarlet facings. Red fezs, which were an unusual item of uniform in the Indian Army, are reported to have been worn by the sepoys. They were disbanded in 1904 because of insufficient recruits and the mess funds and silver were bequeathed to the newly raised 2/9th Gurkha Rifles.In 1942 Coorgs were again recruited into the newly raised 1st Coorg Battalion. Like the 71st Coorg Rifles, the new battalion had a badge incorporating crossed Coorg knives. In 1946 it was converted to the 37 (Coorg) Anti-Tank Regiment Unit of the Royal Indian Artillery. Now it is a part of the Indian Regiment of Artillery.".
