The
Indian Army during World War I
Which 5th Light Infantry are you talking about? Mahratta Light Infantry ?
--Vinay84 (talk) 09:15, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
- I have always seen them listed as the 5th Light Infantry (e.g. Farwell, Armies of the Raj, Hopkirk, Like Hidden Fire, and on http://www.britishempire.co.uk/forces/armyunits/indianinfantry/5thltinf.htm). Apparently, pre 1903 reform, they were the 5th Bengal (Light) Infantry (earlier they had been 5th Bengal Native (Light) Infantry (1861-1885) and originally 2nd Battalion, 21st Bengal Native Infantry(1803 - 1824)). I think the only Mahratta Light Infantry during the First World War were 103, 105, and 110th Maharatta Light Infantry (2 of which were with Force D)--HistorianBell 09:43, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

--Vinay84 (talk) 09:57, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
- That is the unit I am talking about. At the end, it refers to them being sent to Africa. --HistorianBell 10:06, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
The article just syas that they went to Africa, was it East Africa? Force B or C? Any sources?
- P.S. When you said to East Africa after the mutiny I thought after 1857.
--Vinay84 (talk) 11:00, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry was referring to the 5th's mutiny in Singapore. When I get up in the morning, I will put them up. --HistorianBell 11:04, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
- Since the OOB for Force B does not have Bengal 5th Light infantry it seems to be Force C. But there are a lot of editors who will tear up the entry in the name of "original research" . So we will have top find out a source which says Force C.

Wiltshire Regiment
Just FYI - I've split the early history section of the Wiltshire Regiment article out to a new page at 62nd (Wiltshire) Regiment of Foot - this seems more appropriate than having one of the early regiments dealt with in the main article and the other dealt with seperately, and it's the way it's done for most of the other regimental articles.
Otherwise, good work! I've noticed a few of your expansions recently...

I ask that a decision whether to pass or fail the article be made within the next couple days; it's been on hold more than long enough and it looks like no more work's going to be done on it. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 17:41, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi HistorianBell! A few days ago, I began the review of Wiltshire Regiment at Talk:Wiltshire Regiment/GA1. I left some preliminary comments that I would like to see being worked on before I complete the rest of the review. Please let me know if you are still interested in taking this article to GA status!
