The Regimental History states that the 2nd Battalion of the Dukes, at Rangoon, sent a company of five officers and 103 other ranks, under Captain J.A.C. Gibbs, to join what was known as the Burma Mounted Infantry Regiment, drawn from the four infantry battalions stationed in that country. These were 2nd Staffs, 2nd Essex, 2nd Durh. LI. and 2nd W. Riding Regiment.
