The regiment later served in the Second Afghan War and World War I in the 5th (Mhow) Division. During the war a second battalion was raised in 1917. After World War I the Indian government reformed the army, moving from single battalion regiments to multi battalion regiments and disbanding nine regiments. The 42nd Deoli Regiment was one of the regiments surplus to the new structure and it was disbanded on 10 December 1921.
