| The '''47th Sikhs''' were an infantry regiment of the [[British Indian Army]]. They could trace their origins to 1901, when they were raised as the 47th (Sikh) Bengal Infantry.
| |
|
| |
| After World War I, the Indian government reformed the army moving from single battalion regiments to multi battalion regiments.<ref>Sumner p.15</ref> In 1922, the 47th Sikhs now became the 5th Battalion, [[11th Sikh Regiment]]. The regiment was allocated to the new [[India]] on independence.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.britishempire.co.uk/forces/armyunits/indianinfantry/47thsikhs.htm|title = The British Empire, Imperialism, Colonialism, Colonies}}</ref>
