"Raised in 1803 this unit was originally an irregular unit that was 'regularized' by good and faithful service. At first the uniform was a mustard colour but this would evolve into an overall yellow kurtka, or tunic,...When India won independence in 1947 this unit became part of the Indian Army and left British service." Military Uniforms of the 19th Century
