The 83rd Wallajahbad Light Infantry were an infantry regiment in the British Indian Army. They could trace their origins to 1794, when they were raised as the 33rd Madras Battalion.
They took part in the Battle of Seringapatam during the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War and the Second Burmese War.
After World War I the Indian government reformed the army, moving from single battalion regiments to multi battalion regiments.[1] The 83rd Wallajahbad Light Infantry now became the 4th Battalion, 3rd Madras Regiment (Wallajahbad Light Infantry)[2].
