British infantry brigades of the First World War 1
British infantry brigades of the First World WarDuring the First World War 259 infantry brigades were raised by the British Army, two by the Royal Navy, and one
from the Royal Marines. Of these brigades fifty-three were held in reserve or only used for training, while another
nine only served in British India.
The pre war regular army only had eighteen infantry brigades, with another forty-three serving with the reserve
Territorial Force (TF). Once war was declared, the regular army was expanded first by volunteers and then
conscripts for what became known as Kitchener's Army. At the same time volunteers for the TF formed second line
formations.
Three infantry brigades served with a division, mostly the same one throughout the war, but some did serve for short
periods with another division. At the start of the war four infantry battalions, with a small headquarters formed a
brigade, but by 1918, with the number of casualties mounting, the brigade was reduced to three battalions. During
the same time the firepower of a brigade was increased by the assignment of more machine guns, eventually as the
war progressed, a brigade had their own machine gun company and a trench mortar battery assigned.
BackgroundAt the outbreak of the war in August 1914, the British regular army was a small p rofessional force. It co nsisted of
247,432 regular troops organised i nto four Guards, 68 line infantry and 31 cavalry regiments, al ong with artillery and
other support a rms. [1] The regular Army was supported b y the Te rritorial Force, and by reservists. In August 1914,
there were three forms of reserves. The Army Reserve of retired soldiers was 145,350 strong. [2] The Special Reserve
had another 64,000 men and was a form of part-time soldiering, similar to the Territorial Force. [2] The National
Reserve had some 215,000 men, who were on a register which was maintained by Territorial Force County
Associations; these men had military experience, but no other reserve obligation. [1][2] The regulars and reserves atleast on paper totalled a mobilised force of almost 700,000 men, although only 150,000 men were immediatelyavailable to be formed into the British Expeditionary Force. [1]
Pre war regular army
After 1907, the regular British Army, serving at home, was grouped into six divisions, each of three brigades
numbered 1st 18th. Following the declaration of war, four infantry battalions, which had been intended to defendthe lines of communication, were brigaded together as the 19th Brigade. Near the end of 1914, when regular army
battalions returned to Europe from serving around the British Empire, they formed the 7th and 8th Division, with the
20th 25th brigades. [3] As the war progressed three more regular army divisions were formed the 27th, 28th and 29th,with their brigades being numbered from 80th 88th. [4]
Territorial Force
The reserve formations of the Territorial Force comprised fourteen divisions each of three brigades, while another
three brigades were independent formations intended for coastal defence. [3] . They were unnumbered unt il August
1915, and took the name of the r egion th ey were affiliated with, or the name of the regimen ts that supplied their
battalions. Wh en the brigades w ere given numbers they becam e the 125th 234th brigades. As a h ome defenceorganisation, their men could not be sent overseas against their wishes. [5] After war was declared almost to a man the
Territorial Force volunteered to serve overseas, so a second line Territorial Force was recruited, virtually a mirror
image of the first line divisions and brigades. [6] For example the Northumbrian Division, had the Northumbrian,
York and Durham and the Durham Light Infantry Brigades. [7] The second line 2nd Northumbrian Division, had the
2nd Northumbrian, 2nd York and Durham and the 2nd Durham Light Infantry Brigades. [8] Volunteers for the secondline Territorial Force had the same terms and conditions as the first line, and could not be sent overseas unless they

The third part of the British Army was the New Army, also known as
Kitchener's Army. Recruits for the New Armies were technically part
of the regular army, serving for three years or until the end of thewar. [11] The first of the New Armies comprised the 9th 114thdivisions, with the 26th 43rd brigades. The second New Armycomprised the 15th 20th divisions, with the 44th 61st brigades. Thethird comprised the 21st 26th divisions, with the 62nd 79th brigades.The fourth and fifth were the Pals battalions of the 30th 35thdivisions, with the 89th 106th brigades and the 37th 42nd divisions,with the 110th 136th brigades. The last New Army was the sixth,comprising the 36th 41st divisions, with the 107th 124th brigades. [12]
Infantry brigade composition
At the start of the First World War French, Russian and German
divisions consisted of two brigades each of which were made up of two
regiments. Each regiment had four battalions, which meant that in total
there were around 6,000 men in the brigade. The British Army was
different. Their divisions consisted of three brigades, with each brigade having slightly over 4,000 men in four
battalions, plus support troops, under the command of a brigadier general. [13]
The 1914 British infantry brigade comprised a small headquarters and four infantry battalions, with two heavy
machine guns per battalion. [14][15] Over the course of the war, the composition of the infantry brigades gradually
changed, and there was an increased emphasis upon providing them with their own organic fire support. Eventually
by 1916 each brigade had a Vickers machine gun company and a mortar battery with eight Stokes Mortars. The
machine gun companies were later withdrawn and combined into a divisional machine gun battalion. By 1918, the
brigade formation had been reduced to three battalions. However each battalion now had thirty-six Lewis machine
guns, making a total of 108 in the brigade. [1]
Several brigades that served away from the Western Front and other main theatres of operations, had a different
composition. The 228th Brigade, which served with the command of the Greek Crete Division, had a Royal
Engineers signal section and a Royal Army Medical Corps field ambulance attached. Other brigades that served in
the British Salonika Army, had a Section Ammunition Column attached. [16] Brigades that served in the Mesopotamia
Campaign had their own supply and transport columns of the Army Service Corps.[17]
One brigade, the 226thMixed, was unique in the respect that it was the only infantry brigade with its own artillery, having two batteries
from the Royal Garrison Artillery assigned. [18]
In the trench warfare on the Western Front, an infantry brigade's defensive resp onsibilities depended upon where
they were at the time. On 21 March 1918, the first day of the German Spring Offensive, the 173rd Brigade was
responsible for unknown operator: u',' yards ( unknown operator: u'strong'unknown operator: u',' m) of the
front line. [19] In 1918, the British Army was responsible for 126 miles (203 km) of the Western Front. The forty-two
brigades, fourteen divisions, of the First Army had to defend 33 miles (53 km). The thirty-six brigades, twelve
divisions, of the Second Army 23 miles (37 km). The forty-two brigades, fourteen divisions, of the Third Army 28
miles (45 km). [20] The thirty-six brigades, twelve divisions, of the Fifth Army possibly had the hardest task with 42
miles (68 km) of front to defend. [21]

Within the brigade a typical deployment was one battalion in the front line, with the other two in reserve, about 2 to
3 miles (3.2 to 4.8 km) back. The forward battalion had several sections manning outposts in the front trench with
two companies manning strong points behind them. Their third company was in reserve to act as a counter attacking
force and the fourth company was resting. Two brigades of a division would be deployed forward with the third
brigade in reserve. [22]
