The '''34th Indian State Forces Infantry Brigade''' was an Infantry formation of the [[Indian Army during the Second World War]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The brigade was formed in June 1941, in [[Karachi]] for garrison service in [[East Africa]] by the redesignation of HQ Baghdad Line of Communications Sub Area. It was the only complete brigade formed by [[Indian State Forces]] during the war.{{citation needed|date=June 2015|reason=Included non-ISF units.}} In April 1942 it was broken up and in June 1942 converted to HQ Abadan Line of Communications Sub Area. This converted to '''34th Indian Infantry Brigade''' in January 1944, under command [[12th Indian Infantry Division]]. The brigade was finally disbanded in October 1944.<ref>{{cite web | access-date=23 October 2009 | publisher=Order of Battle | title=34 Indian Brigade | url=http://www.ordersofbattle.com/UnitData.aspx?UniX=172116&Tab=Uhi | archive-url=https://archive.today/20120609182749/http://www.ordersofbattle.com/UnitData.aspx?UniX=172116&Tab=Uhi | url-status=dead | archive-date=9 June 2012 }}</ref><br />
