The 17th Dogra Regiment was an infantry regiment of the British Indian Army. It was formed in 1922, after the Indian government decided to reform the army moving away from single battalion regiments to multi-battalion regiments.
During the Second World War soldiers from the 17th Dogras fought in Malaya (1941-1942) and Burma (1943-1945).[1]
After the partition of India in 1947, it was allocated to the Indian Army and renamed the Dogra Regiment.
