2nd Bombay Pioneers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2nd Bombay Pioneers was a regiment of the British Indian Army. The regiment was formed in 1922, when the infantry of the Indian Army moved from single battalion to multi battalion regiments. They were renamed The Corps of Bombay Pioneers in 1929, and were disbanded for reasons of economy in 1933.
