Hi,
Can anybody tell me which Territorial Force Division the 2/5th (Cinque Ports) Battalion TF, Royal Sussex Regiment belonged to? 
Also where were they training between February and September 1916?
Many thanks for any replies.

Starter for 10:

In 1916 there are 5 photos of the 2/5th at Lessness Park, near Erith (National Archives collection).

I'd suggest they started at HQ in Hastings and were then deployed to guard vulnerable installations (railways and ports etc until the Military Service Act did away with the Home Service Only aspect of the Territorials.

hope that gets you rolling...
