199th (Manchester) Brigade
The 199th (2/1st Manchester) Brigade was an infantry brigade formation of the British Army that saw active service during the Great War as part of 66th (2nd East Lancashire) Division and was reformed as 199th Infantry Brigade in World War II, serving with 55th (West Lancashire) Infantry Division until August 1944 when it was redesignated 166th Infantry Brigade.
==First World War==
It was raised as a second line brigade of the Manchester Brigade, being part of the 66th (2nd East Lancashire) Division, from those men in the Territorial Force who originally had not agreed to serve overseas at the outbreak of war. However, due to conscription being introduced and the Military Service Act of 1916, the brigade eventually ended up serving with the 66th Division, and the majority of the British Army, on the Western Front. The brigade fought in the Third Battle of Ypres in late 1917. The brigade also saw service during Operation Michael in March 1918, part of the German Army's Spring Offensive, and, as with the rest of the division, suffered extremely heavy casualties. The brigade and division were later reformed and saw service during the final Hundred Days Offensive, which ended with the Armistice of 11 November 1918.
