The '''37th (Prince of Wales's Own) Dogras''' was an infantry regiment of the [[British Indian Army]]. The regiment could trace its origins to 1887, when it was raised as the 37th (Dogra) Bengal Infantry.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.britishempire.co.uk/forces/armyunits/indianinfantry/37thdogras.htm|title = The British Empire, Imperialism, Colonialism, Colonies}}</ref><br />
<br />
The regiment took part in the [[Chitral Expedition]] in 1895 and [[World War I]]. During World War I the regiment was in the [[14th Indian Division]] and took part in the [[Second Battle of Kut]] and the [[Fall of Baghdad (1917)|Capture of Baghdad]] during the [[Mesopotamia Campaign]].<ref>British Official History of the Great War, Mesopotamia Campaign Vol. 4</ref><br />
<br />
After World War I the Indian government reformed the army moving from single battalion infantry regiments to multi-battalion regiments.<ref>Sumner p.15</ref> In 1922, the 37th Dogras became the 1st Battalion (Prince of Wales's Own), [[17th Dogra Regiment]]. The regiment was allocated to the new [[Indian Army]] on independence.<br />
