Identifying which Corps Division in

[Guest Simon Bull]

Is there any way in which one can identify which Corps a Division was in, (in the same way that Chris' site enables one to identify which Division a Battalion was in), using Chris' site?

I'm sure you'll get an authorative answer from someone, but I don't think there is. Divisions changed corps much more frequently than battalions switched between divisions, so I think it would be a big job to collate all that information.

Cheers,

Yes,

Chris has reformatted some of the site but generally this info is found under Regiments/Divisions/Battles

Example from LLT:

Which British formations took part?

Third Army

VII Corps :14th Division, 21st Division, 30th Division, 56th Division

Fourth Army

5th Cavalry Division

III Corps :1st Division, 48th Division, 59th Division

IV Corps :32nd Division, 35th Division, 61st Division

XIV Corps : Guards Division, 20th Division

XV Corps : 8th Division, 20th Division, 40th Division

Fifth Army

4th Cavalry Division

II Corps :2nd Division, 18th Division

V Corps : 7th Division, 46th Division, 62nd Division

XVIII Corps : 58th Division

1st ANZAC : 2nd, 4th and 5th Australian Divisions

Notes : the 1st and 2nd Indian Cavalry Divisions were renamed the 4th and 5th Cavalry Divisions on 26th November 1916. The 20th Division transferred from XIV to XV Corps on 25 March 1917. The 2nd Australian Division captured Bapaume on 17 March 1917, and 48th Division of III Corps occupied Peronne the next day.
