5th Battalion, 7th Rajput Regiment

17 Officers 875 Men

Formed in 1825, the 5th Rajput Regiment was once the 11th Rajputs and fount round Canton in 1858-9. It was the unlucky battalion of the Rajputs in WWI, being on duty in Mesopatamia without action for four months and then going to Persia for column duty. However, it coveed itself in glory in the Afghan war of 1919, being the mainstay of the Chitral force when they stopped the enemy advance (116-186). The Rajputs had arrived in Hong Kong from India in October 1940, but had twice been ordered to send experienced officers and NCOs back to India to aid the expansion of the army there. Reinforcements arrived in October 1941, but they had received very little training.

2nd Battalion, 14th Punjab Regiment

15 Officers 932 Men

The 2/14th Punjab Regiment was formerly the 20th Duke of Cambridge’s Own Infantry (Brownlow’s Punjabis). The battalion was called Brownlow’s after Field-Marshal Sir Charles Brownlow who raised in when he was a subaltern. Brownlow’s Punjabis volunteered as a body for service in China in 1860 and took part in the storming of the Taku Forts. In tehcombined Franco-British advance of Peking Brownlow’s Punjabis was the first unit to plant its colours on the walls of the city. In 1863 it defended the Eagle’s Nest piquet with much gallantry, and performed many other feats on the North-West Frontier. In 1882 it fought at Tel-el-Kebir and became the Duke of Cambridge’s Own on its return. It fought in Mesopotamia during the Great War and was with the 7th Lahore Division in the advance through the Vale of Sharon (116-186).

In Hong Kong the Punjabis were responsible for coastal defences from Causeway Bay to Belcher’s point. Battalion HQ was located in McDonnell road. This battalion also provided protection for Government House and Fortress Headquarters in Central.
