If you're asking about a US regiment, it did not exist in December 1914, and was not created until 1943, as one of the elements of the 69th Infantry Division, for WWII. When that division was inactivated September 7, 1945, the regiment also was inactivtaed, and has not been active since. There was a French Army 271st Infantry, which saw extensive action during WWI, for the first two years as part of the 60th Division. The Germans had a 271st Reserve Infantry Regiment, which was formed in December 1914, as part of the 82nd Reserve Infantry Division of the XXXXI Reserve Corp. ("Reserve" in German usage usualy meant units of men who had already completed their compulsory service at the age of 18-20, but who were still in reserve units for many years afterward. They were not expected to be able to march as fast as "active" units of younger men. The Germans surprised everyone by including reserve units in the front line when they invaded France in 1914. But the XXXXI Reserve Corps seems to have been formed of wartime volunteers, and was still in existence at the war's end). The Italians also had a 271st Infantry Regiment. No doubt other nations did as well.

In Italy. The three infantry regiments in the division were the 365th, 370th, and 371st Infantry. An "RCT" is a Regimental Combat Team, made by pairing an infantry regiment with an artillery battalion. (Every US infantry division had four artillery battalions to back up its three infantry regiments). "The 370th RCT, attached to the 1st Armored Division, arrived in Naples, Italy, 1 August 1944 and entered combat on the 24th. It participated in the crossing of the Arno River, the occupation of Lucca and the penetration of the Gothic Line. Enemy resistance was negligible in its area. As Task Force 92, elements of the 92d attacked on the Ligurian coastal flank toward Massa, 5 October. By the 12th, the slight gains achieved were lost to counterattacks. On 13 October, the remainder of the Division concentrated for patrol activities. Elements of the 92d moved to the Serchio sector, 3 November 1944, and advanced in the Serchio River Valley against light resistance, but the attempt to capture Castelnuovo did not succeed. Patrol activities continued until 26 December when the enemy attacked, forcing units of the 92d to withdraw. The attack ended on 28 December. Aside from patrols and reconnaissance, units of the 92d attacked in the Serchio sector, 5-8 February 1945, but enemy counterattacks nullified Division advances. On 1 April, the 370th Regiment and the attached 442d Infantry Regiment (Nisei) attacked in the Ligurian coastal sector and drove rapidly north against light opposition. The 370th took over the Serchio sector and pursued a retreating enemy from 18 April until the collapse of enemy forces, 29 April 1945. Elements of the 92d Division entered La Spezia and Genoa on the 27th and took over selected towns along the Ligurian coast until the enemy surrendered, 2 May 1945."
