1915 Singapore Mutiny
Mutiny in British Singapore
The 1915 Singapore Mutiny, was a mutiny of elements of the British Indian Army's 5th Light Infantry in British Singapore. Up to half of the regiment, which consisted of Indian Muslims predominantly from Rajput backgrounds, mutinied on 15 February 1915 due to rumours that they would be sent to fight against the largely Muslim Ottoman Empire as part of the Middle Eastern theatre of World War I.
