Last action of the Indian Mutiny, 3rd Madras Regiment.

Event
Tue, 03/29/1859

The last occasion during the Central Indian campaign on which the 3rd Madras (European) Regiment was engaged appears to have been on 29 March 1859, at Imlipani, where the Grenadier Company, commanded by Lieutenant Hunt, led an attack on about 800 rebels who had checked the advance of a detachment of Sikh cavalry. Two volleys and a bayonet charge dispersed the rebels. In April 1859 the Indian (Sepoy) Mutiny was officially declared to be at an end.

On 29 May 1861, the Regiment was incorporated into the Army of Queen Victoria as the 108th Regiment of Foot and on 1 July 1881 became the 2nd Battalion The Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers.
