31st Division (United Kingdom)
The 31st Division was an infantry division of the British Army. It was raised in the Great War by volunteers from Kitchener's Army formed in April 1915 as part of the K4 Army Group and taken over by the War Office on 10 August 1915. Comprising mainly infantry battalions from Yorkshire and Lancashire, the division was sent to Egypt in December 1915 before moving to France in March 1916 and spent the remainder of the First World War in action on the Western Front. The 31st Division was the quintessential New Army division, being made up entirely of Pals battalions.
The 31st Division's first major action was on the first day of the Somme Campaign (1 July 1916), part of the Somme offensive. The division suffered 3,600 casualties and failed to reach any of its objectives.
