Wikipedia description:
The Bombay Army was the army of the Bombay Presidency, one of the three presidencies of British India. It was established in 1668 and governed by the East India Company until the Government of India Act 1858 transferred all presidencies to the direct authority of the British Crown. On 1 April 1895 the army was incorporated into the newly created Indian Army, and became known as the Bombay Command until 1908.
