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-five 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. ==Background== At the outbreak of the war in August 1914, the British regular army was a small professional force. It consisted of 247,432 regular troops organised into four Guards, 69 line infantry and 31 cavalry regiments, along with artillery and other support arms.〔Tucker & Roberts (2005), p. 504〕 The regular Army was supported by the Territorial Force, and by reservists. In August 1914, there were three forms of reserves. The Army Reserve of retired soldiers was 145,350 strong. The Special Reserve had another 64,000 men and was a form of part-time soldiering, similar to the Territorial Force.〔 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.〔〔 The regulars and reserves—at least on paper—totalled a mobilised force of almost 700,000 men, although only 150,000 men were immediately available to be formed into the British Expeditionary Force.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「British infantry brigades of the First World War」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
