In the 1900s the British Empire had expanded across the world and had influence in many countries, including India. For this reason, The Indian Army provided a great number of soldier to fight for the British in World War One. During this time a unique brigade was formed in Jullundur, it consisted of three different battalions from different countries, with different cultures and beliefs. Yet they would form friendships and comradery which would see them through what was to come.

The three battalions remained together as part of the Jullundur Brigade before, throughout and after the Great War (1912 - 1919), having fought with great distinction in northern France and Flanders, and later in Palestine and Mesopotamia. They have remained bonded together in friendship even though they are now part of three different Armies.

The Jullundur Brigade Association is constituted to maintain those close links by regular meetings of its membership, wherever and whenever that is possible.
