The '''109th Infantry''' was an [[infantry]] [[regiment]] of the [[British Indian Army]]. The regiment traces its origins to 1768, when it was raised as the 5th Battalion, Bombay [[Sepoys]].

The regiment's first action was during the [[Mysore (1789-91)|Mysore Campaign]] in the [[Third Anglo-Mysore War]]. It was next involved in the [[Battle of Seringapatam]] in the [[Fourth Anglo-Mysore War]], and next used in the [[Siege of Multan]] during the [[Second Anglo-Sikh War]]. Its last campaign in the 19th century was the [[Second Afghan War]]. During [[World War I]] it was attached to the [[Aden Brigade]], which was formed to protect the important naval refueling point at [[Aden]].<ref>Sumner, p.9</ref>

After World War I the Indian government reformed the army moving from single- to multi-battalion regiments.<ref>Sumner p.15</ref> In 1922, the 109th Infantry became the 4th Battalion [[4th Bombay Grenadiers]]. After [[History of the Republic of India|independence]] it was one of the regiments allocated to the [[Indian Army]].
