caption_attribution_description: English: Handsome Indian Soldier Soldiers waiting to board their plane. "The Dogra Regiment is an infantry regiment of the Indian Army, formerly the 17th Dogra Regiment when part of the British Indian Army." I didn't know until later, when I looked at the larger picture, that this soldier was looking right at the camera.
context_page_description: The Dogra Regiment is an infantry regiment of the Indian Army. The regiment traces its roots directly from the 17th Dogra Regiment of the British Indian Army. When transferred to the Indian Army like its sister regiments, the numeral prefix was removed.
