25th Division (United Kingdom)
- 25th Division (United Kingdom)
The 25th Division of the British Army was raised for the Third New Army during September 1914. It served on the Western Front for most of the First World War. The component units were assembled around Salisbury and moved to Aldershot in May 1915 to complete their training. The division crossed to France on 25-30 September 1915 and was initially stationed around Nieppe. For a time it was part of II Anzac Corps, a combined Australian and New Zealand formation. After suffering severe casualties in June 1918, it underwent a major refit and reorganisation, the reformed division moving back to France in September 1918.
The division was demobilised by the end of March 1919, having suffered 48,300 casualties during the war.
