Korah (Battle honour)
Korah was a battle honour awarded to units of the forces of British India that took part in the Battle of Korah in 1776.〔Rodger, Alexander (2003) ''Battle Honours of the British Empire and Commonwealth Land Forces, 1662-1991''. Marlborough: Crowood. p. 44.〕
In May, 1776, a British force under Lieut-Col John Neville Parker was sent from Belgram, in Oudh, to monitor the activities of one Mabub Khan, a disaffected officer of the Nawab of Oudh, stationed at Korah (about 25 miles from Cawnpore) with seven battalions of troops and 19 guns.〔Cardew, Lieut F.G. (1903) ''A Sketch of the Services of the Bengal Native Army. To the Year 1895.'' Calcutta: Office of the Superintendent of Government Printing. p. 39.〕〔Broome, Capt A. (1850) ''History of the Rise and Progress of the Bengal Army, Volume 1'' Calcutta: W. Thacker And Co. p. 604.〕 On June 10, 1776, Col Parker sent a demand that the guns be surrendered and, when this demand was refused, the British attacked. In a brief, but bloody, engagement, Mabub Khan's troops were defeated and the guns captured.
The award was made to the 1st and 10th Regiments of Bengal Native Infantry.
