The 115th Brigade was an infantry brigade formation of the British Army raised during the Great War. It was raised as part of the new army also known as Kitchener's Army and assigned to the 38th (Welsh) Division. With the division, the brigade saw service on the Western Front. Disbanded after the war the brigade was reformed in the Territorial Army as the 115th Infantry Brigade shortly before World War II. It spent most of the war in the United Kingdom as part of the 38th (Welsh) Division. From 2 August 1944, it formed Force 135 which was planning the reoccupation of the Channel Islands. In the event, the plan did not go ahead and the brigade left Force 135 on 30 January 1945. On 12 February, it moved to North West Europe where it remained until the end of the war serving variously under the direct command of VIII, XII and I Corps. ==World War I formation== The infantry battalions did not all serve at once, but all were assigned to the brigade during the war. * 16th (Service) Battalion (Cardiff City), Welsh Regiment * 10th (Service) Battalion (1st Gwent), South Wales Borderers * 11th (Service) Battalion (2nd Gwent), South Wales Borderers * 17th (Service) Battalion (2nd North Wales), Royal Welsh Fusiliers * 2nd Battalion, Royal Welsh Fusiliers * 115th Machine Gun Company * 115th Mortar Battery〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=The Long Long Trail )〕 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「115th Brigade (United Kingdom)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
