43rd (Wessex) Infantry Division
The 43rd (Wessex) Infantry Division was an infantry division of the British Army. It was originally raised in 1908 as part of the Territorial Force, as the Wessex Division, and disbanded in 1920 with the rest of the Territorial Force. In 1915 it became the 43rd (Wessex) Division. It was reformed as the 43rd (Wessex) Infantry Division in 1920 as part of the Territorial Army. A 2nd Line duplicate, the 45th (2nd Wessex) Division, was raised on the doubling of the Territorials for both World War I and World War II.
The division served with distinction in World War II on the Western Front from June 1944 until May 1945, suffering horrendous casualties but gaining an excellent reputation and was known to the Germans as the ''Yellow Devils''. The division was disbanded and again reformed in the Territorial Army after World War II. Beckett 2008 claims that Territorial Army units that were in suspended animation were formally reactivated on 1 January 1947, though no personnel were assigned until commanding officers and permanent staff had been appointed in March and April 1947.〔Beckett 2008, 169.〕 On 1 May 1961 the division was merged with a district to become 43rd (Wessex) Division/District.〔Beckett 2008, 183, 185, and regiments.org (archive), (South Western District 1905-1972 ), accessed September 2012.〕
