Glengarry badge, other ranks', 102nd Regiment of Foot (Royal Madras Fusiliers), 1874-1881
This unit entered British Army service in 1862, but its history stretched back to the 17th century when the East India Company formed the Madras European Regiment. It fought for the Company with great distinction until the abolition of its rule following the Indian Mutiny (1857-1859).
Its badge depicts the flaming grenade, symbol of all British fusiliers regiments, and a garter inscribed with the unit title and number.
